Oct 3rd reflective thoughts
Reflecting the movie "the future of food" we saw yesterday, there were many findings for me.
I've written at least three papers about GMOs and updated my information everytime I do the research. However, there were many refereshing new information, and the movie put it very nicely examining GMOs from many angles.
The first surprithing news was that Monsanto suing farmers to gain from their patent rights. There are many GMOs advocates saying GMOs ease farmers jobs, provide more consistant supply, and more. However, this news clearly illustrates that those giant GMO companies are starving for profits and extract every possible dirty pennies from innocent farmers.
Another thing was tracibility. Many researchers said nobody knows the long-term effects on human health. We are all guinea pigs and so on. But, since it is currently not tracible to track the health impacts from GMOs, we don't even know the short-term impacts on our health. What's going on in our body when we eat GMOs.
