Transgenic food

Transgenic are very extended right now... Ades juice and many many other common food are made with transgenic plants (especially the Soy).

I’ve heard that transgenic cause allergic reaction and other people say that they don’t cause anything bad... the think is that long term effects are really difficult to prove but unquestionable there are many reason for reject transgenic food like hybridation with natural plants, possible damage to human health, etc. But I believe all the fighting with against transgenic is a loss cause, because we want it or no transgenic are part of our live and there are in the supermarket everywhere.

A good way to fight them is force a special logo in the labels, something like “this product contains transgenic soy”. I’m sure the people will prefer to pay a little more for a transgenic free product, but for the same reason is obvious that big factories will make a huge lobby to avoid the labeling.

Transgenic are usually involved with monopoly too, this is other problem in modern days to, because the company who sell transgenic plant is the same that sell the herbicide that work with the transgenic.

So in resume transgenic are a very dirty world, related with monopoly, secrets, a lot of powerful people, ecosystem dangers, human health issues… is the opposite to traditional small scale agriculture and that’s why I’m totally against it.
