Biotechnology A brief argument against the use of biotechnology in agriculture and the creation of genetically modified foods. The argument consists of eleven main assertions supported by detailed research. http://www.geocities.com/biotechdoubts/
Extractions: Biotechnology: Gateway to Environmental Destruction A brief of argument against biotech agriculture and foods. by Kulsoom Anwer "We should not have to vouch for the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as we can" Phil Angell, Monsanto's Corporate Communications Director If that isn't an evil corporate mandate, what is? No wonder biotechnology's leading company is often referred to as Monsatan. The biotechnology industry as a whole is ruthless, irresponsible and wily. They don't have to be too clever though; after all, most of us don't protest much about what is on our plates let alone the agricultural practices which brought it to us. The Europeans, who have banned genetically modified (GM) foods, say in response to our North American apathy, that Americans (but it applies to us here in Canada too) will eat anything as long as the portions are large. It's okay. You don't have to run out and join Greenpeace. However, the first step to doing anything is to become aware. It is a cliché but how else can we see the outrageous lies behind the simplistic "information" posted on Monsanto's propaganda-laden website? To learn why there is cause for concernor more aptly, panicabout the unchecked invasion of biotechnology into our world, read my 11 assertions which make up my 'brief of argument' against biotech agriculture and foods. A lot of my sources can be found on the web. I would especially like to highlight the Rural Advancement Foundation International (

Extractions: W hat do you think of when you hear the word "agriculture" ? The image of crops growing in a field or a barnyard full of animals may come to mind. But even if you don't live on a farm, agriculture is all around you. As consumers, we depend on agriculture to provide food, clothes and other things we use every day. Click on the categories listed below. As you learn about crops and animals produced in Illinois and the ways in which they are used, remember that agriculture is more than farming. Turning crops and animals into products we can use, transporting these products to stores in the United States and around the world, caring for sick animals, manufacturing farming equipment, and protecting our land and water so plants and animals can grow all of these activities, and many others, are part of the agricultural industry.
