The rice with human genesBy SEAN POULTER - More by this author » Last updated at 08:57am on 6th March 2007

"The first GM food crop containing human genes is set to be approved for commercial production.
The laboratory-created rice produces some of the human proteins found in breast milk and saliva.
Its U.S. developers say they could be used to treat children with diarrhoea, a major killer in the Third World.
The rice is a major step in so-called Frankenstein Foods, the first mingling of human-origin genes and those from plants. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture has already signalled it plans to allow commercial cultivation.
The rice's producers, California-based Ventria Bioscience, have been given preliminary approval to grow it on more than 3,000 acres in Kansas. The company plans to harvest the proteins and use them in drinks, desserts, yoghurts and muesli bars.
The news provoked horror among GM critics and consumer groups on both sides of the Atlantic.
GeneWatch UK, which monitors new GM foods, described it as "very disturbing". Researcher Becky Price warned: "'There are huge, huge health risks and people should rightly be concerned about this.'"


Such mild words for such a strong and inherently dangerous act by the USDA. Those of us who have always (for 7 years now) opposed GMOs will not oppose this for much the same reason. This is just a farcical, dangerous farcical backdoor effort to gain acceptance for GM. Do we have to suffer all this activity, these various sales efforts before one of them ends in horrible deaths. Now they want to feed it to children who do not have the awareness to oppose it. How do we know that debiliting effects might be postponed for a generation or two? How do they propose to prevent the substance from mutating.Now, I am not going on and on here repeating what is terribly well documented by Mae-Wan Ho and I-SIS. She has done the research, done the homework, teamed up with several giants in the genetic field and advises against it. See her website and organisation:The Institute of Science In Society www.i-sis.org.uk/
I must go on. GM companies have claimed for years that they are doing nothing new; just following age-old techniques. Are you kidding me? Human saliva in rice!This is where they have been heading all along and they have been stringing us along as if we were ignorant. Good science they say. Those of us who oppose are following "bad" science. Those scientists who oppose them are following "Bad" science.
We want our food left alone as Nature has fashioned it safely thru the ages. It has passed the test of time (yes the grains are bigger thru selective breeding, but selective breeding is not this) and is not likely to turn nasty on us or our children.There are natural remedies and drugs if desired to help with child suffering.

LEAVE OUR FOOD ALONE
