Scientists warn of
genetically modified
organisms (GMOs)
dire consequences.
Following several years
of invited public opinion,
which was consistently
in favor of
a continued moratorium,
the United States
Food and Agriculture
Department recently
approved the unregulated
planting of Roundup
Ready Alfalfa (RRA),
a genetically modified
alfalfa designed
to survive the chemical
herbicide Roundup,
scientifically
known as glyphosate.
However, in a new study
scientists have discovered
for the first time
a very tiny organism
within these genetically
modified crops
that is self-replicating
and appears to be able
to cause disease in both
plants and animals.
With alfalfa being
the fourth largest crop
in the US, covering
millions of acres of land,
an independent group of
scientists, farming,
consumer,
and food safety groups
are now warning that
the unregulated planting
of genetically modified
alfalfa is at particular risk
of spreading disease
because it also stands to
contaminate natural crops.
Specifically,
the diseases associated
with the organism found
in the GMO alfalfa
include a lethal disorder
that can afflict soy plants
as well as one
that appears to cause
late miscarriages
in farm animals.
These findings were
presented by Professor
Emeritus Don M. Huber (NFT: PhD)
of Purdue University
in the USA,
who coordinates
the Emergent Diseases
and Pathogens committee
as part of
the US Department
of Agriculture's National
Plant Disease Recovery
System.
Warning that the
cultivation of genetically
modified alfalfa could
cause irreparable damage
to the food supply,
Dr. Huber stated,
“If indications hold true,
we're set up for
the greatest disaster
that this country or
the world has ever seen,
that will dwarf any major
famine or drought that
has ever been recorded.”
Previous studies
have also linked the use
of the herbicide
glyphosate with
damaging human health
such as killing cells
and causing infertility.
Dr. Huber has called
for more research on
the effects of GMO crops
before the irreversible
decision about alfalfa
goes into effect.
Dr. Huber and
fellow scientists,
our sincere thanks for
this urgent warning about
genetically modified crops.
Let us choose beneficial
organic vegan farming
methods for a world
in which human, animal
and environmental health
prevail.
Speaking
during an October 2009
videoconference
in Hong Kong,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
mentioned the many hazards
of genetically modified
organisms
along with the need
to avoid their use
to ensure human welfare.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : Nowadays,
many people try to do
this so-called genetically
modified food,
so sometimes we eat
vegetarian food and
we don't even know
that there are
animal substances in it.
Scientifically speaking,
meat is being linked to
diseases of all kind -
with cholesterol, obesity,
heart disease and strokes.
So, if we put meat
or animal substance into
vegetables, then we will
also have similar effects,
more or less.
I think we should not
mess up with nature
and play God.
Whatever nature has
already offered to us,
that is good enough.
There might be
more incurable diseases
that come from GMOs
that we don't even know
will happen yet.
Right now, even if we
just eat the normal meat
and we have so many
incurable diseases
already;
if we mix it
with vegetables,
maybe we will have more
incurable diseases and
more strange diseases
that we don't even know
how to deal with
in the future.
So, it's better to have
organic vegan farming
method.
