  • Essays 'Genetically Engineered Foods and how They Are Being Unjustly Attacked', 1.
Extract

"Friends of the Earth" (or rather, "Enemies of Humanity"), a leading environmentalist organization, proposes a moratorium on GE foods and makes its stand against business clear: "No one needs genetically modified food, except the companies investing in it. The only reason for its existence is to increase agribusiness profits."
Greenpeace does not lag behind in their attack: "Trade in GE food and crops is dominated by a handful of multinational corporations. It is widely believed that these are the only beneficiaries of genetically engineered foods."
