Hi Keith ;
-cut-
These critical remarks should be read in light of
growing evidence of
extremely serious impacts on health, environment and
the livelihoods
of Third World farmers. A European regulatory
requirement for genetic
safety testing, which is not required in Canada or
countries in the form of
aid/trials/experiments with promises of enormous increases in crop
gains?

Ah, the absolute Luddite. First we figure out how to use a rock, then
somebody wants to kill us by clubbing us with a rock. We were better

is a double-edged sword. It is not technology itself that gets us in trouble,
but rather the

Ha, don't laugh. Where I have my farm in Cambodia,
the local poeple have no running water, no
electricity, almost no roads. They manage to live

Yes this is true. You know when I am editing a Word
document I am amazed at how long it takes to create
the document from scratch, but I can delete it almost
instantly. The point
We must stop de use of GM products now not tomorrow,
and promove the ecological agriculture, here in south
america (Argentina) the people have a lot of problems
with GM soja, the fields of the owner´s don´t produce
any more when GM soja is used. its a great problem.
