Is Genetic Engineering Safe?

Are you aware that many of the foods you find in the grocery store today are Genetically Modified?

Begining with the 1996 harvest, American parents began feeding their babies bottles of formula made from 'Roundup Ready' soybeans, (a plant gentically modified to withstand large quantities of Roundup herbacide.) The maker of Roundup is also the maker of these soybeans. These soybeans are engineered to absorb these chemicals and still live... (that's why they are called Roundup Ready.) The problem, of course, being that WE then, in turn, eat the Roundup Pesticide, ourselves. (because it's in the soybeans) Q. Were you, before now, familiar with 'Roundup Ready' soybeans (which, incidentally, account for 60% America's soy harvest)?

Do you ever have any of these symptoms after lunch/dinner out?

Have you gained weight recently (perhaps in the last three years) that you cannot explain? (ie: your lifestyle really hasn't changed, but your pants don't really fit right, or you feel 'bloated' a lot of the time)...

Recently, genetically modified trees have been added to American forests. Many scientists believe they will pollinate with the native species, which could result in an unprecidented ecological disaster. What do you think 'We the People' can do to make this situation better?

The Mexican government is quite angry with the U.S. for creating Genetically Engineered Corn. The reason for this is that Mexico's staple food is corn, and over the course of hundreds of years, their country was able to naturally create 7 different strains of corn that enabled their people to obtain harvests through any kind of season, whether it be rainy, dry, hot, cold, etc. Our introduction of GE corn into the environment ruined their native corn forever. They are no longer able to tell how their crops will do, because they can no longer tell which corn is which. Our GE corn has interbred so quickly that their staple food is no longer always available. We could now be responsible for a nation-wide Mexican famine! Doesn't this prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the U.S. is NOT in control of what they are doing?

In 2000, a women named Grace Booth, a residential director for troubled youth in San Francisco, was rushed to the emergency room with her throat closed and her lips tingly and swollen. She had just eaten a meal she prepared herself, enchiladas made with corn tortillas. She used corn tortillas made from Starlink corn, which at the time were widely available to the public. This newly modified corn was experimental, and contained a a toxic protein built-in, to kill insects that feed on corn. Dozens of Americans wound up in the hospital due to this corn variety. Have you ever had any of the below adverse reactions to corn?

Did you see the movie Jurassic Park?

If you did see Jurassic Park, did you realize it dealt with the mishaps of Genetic Engineering?

Have you read the book Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson?

Since America in space is not anywhere close to the Star Trek future our parents dreamed of, isn't it important that we don't screw this planet up? (It's not like we can leave...)

Last question... If we feed our children experimental food, what kind of country is this?
