| HI all, This is my first time on this forum,it's cool to see an NZ site.GE might kill your bugs on your runner beans,It may make your carrot tops tasty.Nuclear energy may create 500% more power than conventional energy supplies.Adding small amounts of potent chemicals in the form of (additive 103) to food helps it stay on the shelf for another 4 weeks before it spoils. There is a certain patern here,70% of GE crops grown now are modified to be resistent to herbisides.So the farmer can spray as much of that rubbish on OUR food as he wants (and he does) and maybe it's not affecting us now but if NZ gets the OK we are gonna be paying through the nose for food that not covered in chemicals.The farmer will get richer but we will not get cheaper food. As gardeners you all know that nature is a fine balance,and you upset that balance..ie..you spray pesticide on your vege's and you also kill the beneficial insects, thus the pests come back and are worse so you have to spray MORE pestercides and the cycle continues. Lets enjoy nature the way it is, and I beleive with all it's up's and down's , nature is awesome,why would I ever want to stuff with it. Yeah thats my say anyways.hehehe I'm very passionate about it as you can see This Canadian web site is mind blowing with info on GE and I think this info should be put infront of EVERYONE before they make an opinion on GE Cheers Daniel |
