Véronique
Schlumberger from
France
shares
her doubts about genetically manipulated
food.
If
we manipulate vegetable genes, we can manipulate
human genes. My first fear is that it may be
possible that a substance which is left in food
could get into a human body while the person is
eating. Then, is it possible that this substance
could modify the person's genetic
structure?
The
new techniques do not assure taste
Another thought: I don't know if the tomatoes we
find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or
not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A
tomato grown with sun and soil is much better. In
the case of strawberries, actually, most
strawberries we can find are very tasty. I guess,
however, they have been genetically manipulated,
too.
Can we
trust the scientists?
Food
production by genetic manipulation is a very small
part of what scientists do. I think that they are
working much more behind our backs on animal and
human manipulation: monsters and Frankenstein might
not be fiction.
