Speaking at a conference yesterday (November 13) in London organised by the agri-food consultancy European Food and Farming Partnerships (EFFP), Jim Moseley, who is also md of General Mills UK and Ireland, called on the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to take the lead in proving to the public that consumption of GM food posed no threat to health.
Moseley stressed speed of action was essential in ensuring that the UK didn’t fall behind the rest of the world in the adoption of modern production techniques and, as a consequence, lost its all-important export markets.
Food manufacturing
“Despite its great heritage around food manufacturing in the UK and Europe, we could become a food museum as all the markets around us adopt this and other new technologies,” he warned.
However, he argued that it was not the role of manufacturers to promote the use of GM technology.
(NaturalNews) 2012 could be the beginning of the end for Frankenfoods in the US as GMO’s could lose their ability to operate by stealth in at least in one state. Californians may vote later this year on whether to require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food and food ingredients.
A grassroots coalition of health, environmental and consumer organizations filed papers last fall with the California Attorney General’s office to place a citizen’s initiative on the ballot late in 2012. If the measure is successful, California would be the first state to adopt mandatory GMO labeling laws.Success in the Golden State may inspire food activists elsewhere in the US. Consumers have no choice but to boycott GMO’s, and the labeling requirements will have a serious impact on the bottom line of companies who have invested heavily in creating these pseudo-foods, such as Monsanto. Predictably, these multinational corporations are spending some of the mega-millions they make on sales to uninformed consumers to defeat the California ballot initiative....
This blog is another tributary to the swelling river of information that makes evident the great advancements in crop production and environmental stewardship that have developed over the last 50 years. I believe the future is bright for agriculture and food production if we can get all hands on-deck to tackle the problems of world hunger and responsible environmental stewardship. There is a great story to tell... "Whatever kinds of food production, processing and distribution system we humans come up with, what matters is not the technology, but whether the results make people sick. There's lots of food-related things that sicken 30 per cent of all citizens in developed countries each and every year -- genetically engineered food isn't one of them."
