Why are GMOs controvertial?
Biological effects: Effects on the environment and human health cannot be reliably predicted and therefore the precautionary principal should be used. Many scientists and medical professionals caution that GMO foods should not be released into the environment or the food chain until further studies are conducted. Monopolization of food production: The spread of genetic engineering coincides with widening legal possibilities to patent plants and their genes. Patents on food bear the intrinsic danger that a few transnational corporations obtain exclusive control over the whole chain of food production, from the gene to the dish. nwrage.org/ http://www.veganpeace.com/organic/sources_and_resources.htm http://www.organicconsumers.org/supermarket/index.cfm http://www.aces.uiuc.edu/asap/organics/Hot_Topics/gmos/gmo_main.
