| Message | Once again. GM ingredients or GM food is not something bad, or something harmful to their health. All our lifes we have been dealing with GM food just to make it more appealing. Do you think tomatoes have that red colour from the very beginning? Not at all. They are the result of years of genetic modification to get the more visual appealing tomatoes. The same can be applied to corn, or to rice, or so on. By this law, you'll only try to frighten our citizens about something they don't even have to worry about. What we should focus is in the quality of the food itself as a whole. Cynthia Spirou, Spokesperson of IMCS |
