Keeping A Watch On Our Healthy Food Supply
We are beginning to understand that genetically modified corn and soy bean, and the infusion of corn derivitives into foods, feeds, candies, soaps, and disposable utensils (one of the better ideas) are not in our best interest.
While I certainly cheer India's stand against Monsanto marketing his genetically modified eggplant (see below), it unhinges my equilibrium to hear of Monsanto's continued food engineering efforts. I think we must take heed of what goes on internationally: it may come back to haunt us in one way or another, perhaps in the shape of an eggplant.
India Blocks Sale of Monsanto GM Crop
India has put a halt to plans to allow genetically modified eggplant from the agri-giant Monsanto to be sold on the Indian market. On Tuesday, the Indian government reversed a decision to allow Monsanto to sell its eggplant crop, known as Bt Brinjal. It would have been India’s first genetically modified food crop and the world’s first commercially cultivated genetically modified vegetable.
