THERE is indisputable evidence that we do not need GM to feed the world. Taking the main excuse being put for GM, “that there is growing human population”.

Well even if that was taken at face value, why is it that so-called developing countries are receiving billions of pounds/dollars annually in so-called aid, and we have the media putting out TV pictures of starving people to get the public to send more money, and yet birth control needed and wanted by the women of these countries is not being funded?

It is because this is all about profits, not feeding the world. Otherwise we would not be wasting billions of tons, growing hundred millions of tons for biofuels annually,and allowing food prices and supplies to be manipulated on the worlds stock markets.

It is the same with energy. No politician has the courage to admit it was the standard short-term thinking and lack of long-term planning of not funding energy from waves/ solar and wind by previous administrations is the reason why we are in this panic.

We are still fiddling around with 19th and 20th-century technology, polluting finite fossil fuels and nuclear which has huge hidden cost both financially and in human health.

It’s obvious to all but fools that clean endless renewables gives us independence and a more healthy environment.
