Genmanipulerad mat - nej tack!

EU vill sätta igång ökad produktion av genmanipulerad mat på en mer officiell basis.
Jag undrar om det inte redan sker i större omfattning än vad vi vet om, men nu vill man få det konstitutionerat.

Samtidigt ger EU en öppning för sina medlemmar bland "folket" att säga sin mening.
Organisationen Avaaz som agerar allmänmänskligt och utan politisk eller religiös anknytning, har satt upp en lista för att protestera mot detta lagförslag.

Gå in på Avaaz och skriv på om du vill.

"Dear friends,

The European Commission has just approved growing genetically modified crops in the European Union for the first time in 12 years!
Caving to the GM lobby, the commission has ignored 60% of Europeans who feel we have to get the facts first before growing foods that could pose a threat to our health and environment.

A new initiative allows 1 million EU citizens to make official legal requests of the European Commission. Let's build a million voices for a ban on GM foods until the research is done; they will be delivered to the President Barroso of the European Commission. Sign the petition and forward this email to friends and family:

Consumers, public health, environmental and farmers groups have long rallied against a few international GM companies having such significant influence over European agriculture. Concerns about growing GM crops include: contamination of organic crops and the environment; their impact on climate due to the excessive need for pesticides; the destruction of biodiversity and local agriculture; and the effects of GM food on public health.
