GMO foods?

Scientists warn of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) dire consequences.
Following several years of invited public opinion, which was consistently in favor of a continued moratorium, the United States Food and Agriculture Department recently approved the unregulated planting of Roundup Ready Alfalfa (RRA), a genetically modified alfalfa designed to survive the chemical herbicide Roundup, scientifically known as glyphosate.

However, in a new study scientists have discovered for the first time a very tiny organism within these genetically modified crops that is self-replicating and appears to be able to cause disease in both plants and animals.

With alfalfa being the fourth largest crop in the US, covering millions of acres of land, an independent group of scientists, farming, consumer, and food safety groups are now warning that the unregulated planting of genetically modified alfalfa is at particular risk of spreading disease because it also stands to contaminate natural crops.

Specifically, the diseases associated with the organism found in the GMO alfalfa include a lethal disorder that can afflict soy plants as well as one that appears to cause late miscarriages in farm animals. These findings were presented by Professor Emeritus Don M. Huber (NFT: PhD) of Purdue University in the USA, who coordinates the Emergent Diseases and Pathogens committee as part of the US Department of Agriculture's National Plant Disease Recovery System.

Warning that the cultivation of genetically modified alfalfa could cause irreparable damage to the food supply, Dr. Huber stated, “If indications hold true, we're set up for the greatest disaster that this country or the world has ever seen, that will dwarf any major famine or drought that has ever been recorded.” Previous studies have also linked the use of the herbicide glyphosate with damaging human health such as killing cells and causing infertility. Dr. Huber has called for more research on the effects of GMO crops before the irreversible decision about alfalfa goes into effect.

Dr. Huber and fellow scientists, our sincere thanks for this urgent warning about genetically modified crops. Let us choose beneficial organic vegan farming methods for a world in which human, animal and environmental health prevail. Speaking during an October 2009 videoconference in Hong Kong, Supreme Master Ching Hai mentioned the many hazards of genetically modified organisms along with the need to avoid their use to ensure human welfare.

When we were young we usually heard about GMO's benefit. For example on plants roots; there are potatoes; on plants top; there are tomatoes. Though, there are some research like these things. This study shows how harmful GMO foods like.... Sometimes i usually think about our food thing; no one is good than just natural thing. I'm not exactly remember what scientific research is about- bout there are some research; if we can live only just we made. This study bulid where people can live and made ecosystem- all vegetable, plant, tree and animals; and even sunlight. I remembered that this research was failed. Not passing 3 years, two people who lived in there ; just ran out because of not enough fresh air. We are not usually don't realize how nature is what a surprise thing, but nature- is really amazing!! :) Everyday sun goes and down; every spring we can easily see a bud sprout out and flower blossom. We truly help our mohter earth. Eat less, Spend less and Love all things on Earth!
