Steve, That statement is shocking. Do you work for Monsanto or some other agrifood corp? Nature does nothing by accident... genetic changes occur over thousands of years for survivability and those changes occur within a given species. Thus, animal genes NEVER enter into a plant cell in nature. The practice of genetic engineering is not only unhealthful, it is fraught with all sorts of dangerous outcomes. Allergic reactions in people who eat the GMO food is just one outcome. The practice of genetically altering plants could potentially wipe out all life on earth and should be banned. People have already died from eating GMO corn (Starlink variety). Insects ingesting these plants have also died en masse. Birds (and bats) may also be dying due to genetically modified foods (grains and other plants). This practice MUST be stopped now.

In my mind genetically modified means that there has been an organized hybridization effort as opposed to the natural course of evolution which does the same thing, but by accident rather than by design. Big deal. --- On Wed, 3/3/10, Sunwaterclear - Sunny <sunwatercl...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Sunwaterclear - Sunny <sunwatercl...@yahoo.com> Subject: CS>Take a stand now and reject Mon San To's GMO drive To: "Silver List" <silver-list@eskimo.com> Date: Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 10:02 AM This is so important that I am reposting it on all the lists I belong to. I think you all know that I am not a sp mmer. I know that many of you on this list are very concerned about natural wellness and this includes the food that you eat. There is an urgent requirement now to stand up and speak out about GMO. I just submitted my comments to the USDA telling them to protect the integrity of organics by not approving the use of genetically-modified (GMO) alfalfa. The USDA has alarmingly and mistakenly announced that they do not believe that consumers care whether or not GMO's are a part of our food supply and our agricultural production. Approving GMO alfalfa would significantly harm the integrity of and access to organic food, as well as the livelihoods of organic farmers. We need to show them that we do indeed care! Please take a moment to submit your comments to the USDA by following this link from Food Democracy Now! Then please pass this on. Every voice counts! http://fdn.actionkit.com/cms/sign/make_a_stand_for_organics/?referring_akid=.120471.eeehU8&source=taf Thanks! And please, please, forward this to everyone you know....
