| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |style="color:#000;"|
| |
| − | When GM crops and foods were first introduced in the late 1990s, scientists raised concerns that genetic modification was imprecise and unpredictable and could result in harm to health and the environment. They warned that:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *GM could create foods that are toxic, allergenic and less nutritious than their non-GM counterparts
| |
| − | *GM crops could damage vulnerable wild plant and animal populations
| |
| − | *GM plants cannot be recalled, but as living organisms will propagate, transmitting any damaging properties from generation to generation
| |
| − | *GM crops could cause irreversible alterations to the food supply, with serious consequences for the environment and human and animal health.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequent events and a growing body of scientific evidence have shown each of these concerns to be correct.

| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |style="color:#000;"|
| |
| − | Consumer pressure and scientific concerns have largely kept GM foods and crops out of Europe. But millions of tons of GMOs enter Europe each year in the form of GM animal feed. Unlike GM foods meant for humans, these "stealth GMOs" do not have to be labelled and remain hidden from consumers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the face of growing consumer rejection of GM foods even in their homeland of the USA, GM animal feed and biofuels have become the biotech industry's lifeline.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Should we worry about stealth GMOs in animal feed? Probably, yes. Scientific studies show that GM DNA shows up in the milk and meat of animals fed GMOs. Other studies show that GM feed damages the health of animals. The only study that examined the direct effects on humans of eating GM food showed potential problems.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | GMOs are promoted around the world on the back of false claims, suppression of negative scientific findings and farmer experiences, and persecution of whistleblowers. The GM Watch portal exists to expose the often undisclosed vested interests of the people and groups that push GM technology.

| |
| − | If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created but currently very brief articles. (If you look at the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes page]] you will see some noted as being 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out). So if you would like to add to some of those you would be most welcome.
