Bill: Agriculture
Details
Submitted by[?]: Green Socialists
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 4222
Description[?]:
| For a better regulation and less misuse, these rules are needed. As a government, we can't give incomplete GM crops to our people. Further research is needed. Also, bees are endangered but very crucial for the health of our inhabitants. Pesticides kills all of them, along with butterflies and many other important insects. There are plenty of environmental-friendly ways to produce crops without pesticides. |

| Message | GM Crops have no negative effects on a person, to ban them would take the food supply of millions. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker of the "Királyi Restaurációs Párt" we have heard different. We have heard that GM crop has been the trigger for a number of different health problems across our country. It isn't hard to hear the negative effects of GM crop's unless you're receiving money from someone who tells you to "Belive" otherwise. |

| Message | The point is also that GM crops can also destroy the original crops and that has negative effects for the environment. We have to care for the environment very well. There are enough studies who show that GM crops are very bad. http://responsibletechnology.org/gmo-education/65-health-risks-of-gm-foods/ http://responsibletechnology.org/gmo-education/health-risks/ Btw, if people suddently start eating different food than now, and if the crops are modified, different bacterias start to develop. If there is a wrong bacteria, the chance is smaller than with normal food that there is a medicine for that disease. |
