GM foods, Genetically Modified foods are going to hit the market very soon. To begin with, have you ever wondered why our ancestors were healthy and lived till their 80s? It's because they never used pesticides. All they used to keep rodents and pests at bay was cow's waste. Nowadays, the scenario is completely different. These pesticides cause hazardous side effects on humans. We keep scratching our head wondering why, though we don't smoke, drink, or inhale industrial pollution, we still get affected with cancer. Our lives are at stake due to farmer's greed of amassing wealth in a short period.
Coming to the point of GM foods, Scientists and nutritionists and the government say that these are completely safe as the chemicals used in creating the hybrid seeds get destroyed while we boil the veggies. My question is do you boil Watermelon? Do you boil Apple? Do you boil cucumber? No right? The seeds may be proven as one of the high-yield ones. But in the long run these veggies can alter the genes in humans. It's not us but our future sons and grandsons who are going to suffer. They will curse and abuse us. May be even our dead souls will get disturbed by their wake-up-calls. I want to conclude by recommending the people of our country to raise their voice against GM foods. Better be late than NEVER!!

ReplyDeleteI clearly understand what the above is intended to refer at.but,the point here is not criticize a particular kind of food but to actually be considerable to the current scenario.Are u ok with eating rotten apples and water melons.I am sure that would be a no.And neither can you stop yourself from eaten all that.The untimely weather change should directly be held for the deterioration of good health food.Instead of throwing the slogan up against GM,lets bring the global warming part in to the agenda.Which may perhaps solve the other likely issues.
ReplyDeleteVery true. That's a holistic approach which may help solve problems of size trivial to momentous.
ReplyDeleteMy concern is- When EU, which has some of the most hostile climatic conditions, has banned usage of GM foods, why is India being used as a testing ground for Bt Brinjal and other vegetables?
I've adopted some of the eco-friendly steps in my day to day life. But as long as industries do not cap their emissions, our measures to save our planet would seem insignificant. Isn't it?
