GM Crops

OK, here is the scoop, we are the people to decide our own future, and we need to answer the vital question.

Is GM the way forward?

You can forget adults, they don't know anything. It's us kids who are gonna decide whats what, when our parents are all going round on mobility seaters (no Oli, not micro scooters).  So we need to look at the ups and downs of GM crops, to help decide what we our future will be.

    For

• Increases growth of plant thereforemore crops are produced,

• This means more food being available, which could help world famine,

• Gives more produce with each crop.

    Against

• We shouldn't interfere with this part of nature,

• Who wants food that has had scientists rubber 'glovey mits' all over it?

I think, personally, Kelloggs should make a campaign against it, but strangely "Frosties" in Europe are GM free, but in the US they aren't.

Greenpeace came up with a stunt where they unravelled a banner over cereal land in the US saying "Kelloggs: encourage no GM in your cereals" and a banner by Tony the Tiger's mouth saying "They're Grross!".  I do agree with some that the kind of action Greenpeace takes is a bit absurd, but who wants to be encouraged to "wake up with a science experiment in every bowl"?

Basically, GM crops are where the seeds are taken,  bits are taken out, fiddled around with and put back in again.  Then with the good old mishap that comes with this kind of thing, the tonnes of GM wheat grain, which is produced, are then wrongly labelled so it's now fine and the fine stuff is labelled GM.

The thing is, the government isn't doing a thing about it!  Well it seems like that anyway.  They should hold something like a referendum or survey or something to actually show how many people want to eat food that was grown in a lab.

For the meantime, adopt the motto:

"A GM crop a day; well, with its own build-in medicine for every disease in the world, would keep the doctor away"

So its up to us to secure the future because, well, we are the future!
