Exposed: GM Food WILL NOT SOLVE WORLD HUNGER

Major new study shows that modified soya produces 10 per cent less food than its conventional equivalent.

File this under “I told you so.” An article in the Independent.

Apparently there’s a new study out that has found that GM soya produces about 10 per cent less food than its conventional equivalent, contradicting assertions by advocates of the technology that it increases yields.

So there goes the myth that GM food will solve the world hunger crisis. In other articles today, I see that the hunger crisis is being used in other forums to support the use of GM food.  Here’s a link to the International Heral Tribune

“In lean times, biotech grains are less taboo”

“Soaring food prices and global grain shortages are bringing new pressures on governments, food companies and consumers to relax their longstanding resistance to genetically engineered crops.”

I guess they didn’t see the latest study done in Kansas.We can expect more of this kind of corportate massage to be applied around the globe in the times ahead.  It is an  effort to greenwash the corporate agenda of having their way with the environment and the people with GM food while covering it up with the lofty goal of solving world hunger. I wonder who pays these writers what their connection might be to a corporate seed company?
