Some claim that GM food causes allergy. Others see GM food as a ploy by multinational biotechnology companies to dominate global food chain. To others, GM food is a weapon by Americans to colonize the world. <BR/><BR/>What all these people forget is that GM food is a real phenomenon that the world is learning to live with. Come to think of it, why are more and more countries embracing genetically modified crops? Is it just for the sake of it? They are doing so because they appreciate their benefits. <BR/><BR/>For special interest groups to try to instill fear in the public about GM food is unfortunate. As Norman Borlaug, the pioneer of the Green Revolution reminds us all the time, anti-biotechnology activists have never produced even a tonne of food. All what they are good at is politicking, without offering tangible solutions to menacing global food problems. <BR/><BR/>I would passionately appeal for a more rational debate about genetically modified food.<BR/>James <BR/>GMO Africa Blog <BR/>http://www.gmoafrica.orgGMO Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807869063593970539noreply@blogger.com
