Re: [wanabidii] GMO Myths and Truths

people now buy imported fruits from the supermarkets rather than go to  farmers. Go to Big cities and see how people queue up at Shoprite to buy bloodless chicken imported from South Africa, rather than fresh chickens sold all over the place.

I don't know how much Tanzania know about GMOs. Back in 2002, it became a hot issue in Southern Africa when those countries were suffering from drought and famine and refused to accept American food aid which were based on GMOs. They feared having their seed banks contaminated which would prevent them from exporting food to EU countries. I doubt Tanzania exports food to EU countries, so GM food may slip into Tanzania without anyone bothering, particularly if the government has no policy in place. I doubt they do.

And I think it would be too hasty to attribute the rising cases of cancer to GM food.

Genetically modified (GM) crops are promoted on the basis of a range of far-reaching claims from the GM crop industry and its supporters. However, a large and growing body of scientific and other authoritative evidence shows that these claims are not true. This document presents a number of GM crops myths and truths with explanations for each.
