 The hope that GMF might bring solutions to malnutrition and world hunger was

never more darmaticaly that when TIME magazine announced an article about
the development of a "golden rice" genetically modified. The result is a form of
rice that is a golden-yellow color (much like daffodil flowers), and that produces
beta-carotene, which the human body normally converts into Vitamin A.
Nearly a million children die every year because they are weakened by Vitamin
A deficiencies and an additional 350,000 go blind. Golden rice, said Time, will be
a godsend for the half of humanity that depends on rice for its major staple. Merely
eating this rice could prevent blindness and death.
However. In the years since Time proclaimed the promises of golden rice,
however, we’ve learned a few things.
For one thing, we’ve learned that golden rice will not grow in the kinds of soil that
it must to be of value to the world’s hungry. To grow properly, it requires heavy
use of fertilizers and pesticides — expensive inputs unaffordable to the very
people that the variety is supposed to help. And we’ve also learned that golden
rice requires large amounts of water — water that might not be available in
precisely those areas where Vitamin A deficiency is a problem, and where
farmers cannot afford costly irrigation projects.
And one more thing — it turns out that golden rice doesn’t work, even in theory.
Malnourished people are not able to absorb Vitamin A in this form. And even if
they could, they’d have to eat an awful lot of the stuff. An 11-year-old boy would
have to eat 27 bowls of golden rice a day in order to satisfy his minimum
requirement for the vitamin.

 According to statistics The world has a surplus of food, but still people go
hungry. They go hungry because they cannot afford to buy it. They cannot afford
to buy it because the sources of wealth and the means of production have been
captured and in some cases monopolized by landowners and corporations. The
purpose of the biotech industry is to capture and monopolize the sources of
wealth and the means of production ...

 If the GM products are not harmful then what is the reason that the large
companies oppose to be able to put that information on the labels,

 Por otro lado esta Monsanto, un monopolio corporativo productor del 90% de
transgénicos a nivel mundial. Su rotundo éxito en el mercado lo ha dejado con una
inmunidad que le ha permitido permanecer y seguirse desarrollando a lo largo de los
años.

 CONCLUSION: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS NOT THE ANSWER THERE IS

A ENOUGH FOOF ON EARTH THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT ISNOT
