"The vote in Maine) is just the next step in ensuring that the American people know if the food they're feeding their families has been genetically modified" he said. The does not require labeling and contends that genetic modifications do not materially change food
"Kaye's ability to cut through the dross on this Bill which could impact the charitable activities of our communities is commendable as too is her insight that GM foods should remain a food safety issue and be reinstated. This is especially topical following the recent announcement of a new groundbreaking report analyzing the effects of GM feed on animals. Scientists have found that pigs fed a diet of GM corn and soy experienced numerous adverse health effects, including sever stomach inflammation and an enlarged uterus which can negatively impact fertility. It is likely that all animals in NZ now, unless organic, are given GM supplementary feed" says Swanwick
Board member Robert Willoughby said, "Taking a precautionary approach to GE/GMOs is the wisest course of action. History relating to failed GE/GMOs projects and consequent cost to the public highlights that stringent conditions and liability must be applied to any applications."
