There are many ways to convey an important message to people and song lyrics are no exception, especially when attached to a video allowing for the additional visual impact of the message.
It was therefore interesting, but not surprising, that I recently found a musical message about GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms.
Mike Adams of Natural News has made a rap video called ‘Say No to GMO’ that you can watch from this link HERE
Whilst the genre of rap may not appeal to everybody’s musical taste, the lyrics are subtitled and the video contains appropriate images to match the lyrics, which makes it easy to ensure maximum impact.
The extremely important message in this well-made video is that we should not accept GMOs in our foods or indeed anywhere in the food chain.
The quotes used in the video are from one of the most active campaigners against GMOs, Jeffrey Smith, who is the founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology
Jeffrey Smith is regarded as “the leading world expert in the understanding and communication of the health issues surrounding genetically modified foods” and is the author of two books, Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette.
In Seeds of Deception he reveals that “………it was industry influence, not sound science, which allowed these (GM) foods onto the market. Moreover, if overwhelming scientific research suggests anything, it is that the (GM) foods should never have been approved.”
In Genetic Roulette, a complete reference on the health risks of GM foods, he shatters the biotech industry’s claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe and shows 65 health risks of the foods eaten by Americans.
But it is not just Americans who are at risk because anyone, anywhere in the world who eats food made with GM ingredients is at risk.
Additionally, it is not merely a problem of GM ingredients in the foods we eat. If GM technology is allowed to continue it has the potential to impact not only the whole food chain but our environment too.
The dangers to the environment from seeds that have been genetically engineered to produce pesticides are that they can adversely affect wildlife as well as contaminate organic produce when the GM seeds are released into the atmosphere . You can read more about the dangers to the environment HERE
The message from the scientific evidence is loud and clear; avoid anything that has been genetically modified!
