Thanks Simone.
Al older report (Feb 08), but worth mentioning again in light of food shortages and rising prices.

- Gm foods increase world hunger.

- they are modified to look good, there are practically no nutrients left

- they are modified to be able to be shipped from the other side of the world, and still "look good"

-eg. it takes 15 full servings of raw GM green beans every day to get the needed nutrients,.. just from the beans,.. CODEX vitamins gone dec 31, 2009

... we are talking starvation,.. not hunger.

- Wake up,. stop all this collateral damage, occuring daily.
