RAELIANS PREFER GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD

In order to help change public opinion on Genetically Modified (GM) product and 100% confident in this beneficial advance, Raelians all over the world are choosing GM foods over the so called natural" foods which are usually dowsed in pesticides and fertilizers.

Genetic modification is simply a more precise, fine-tuned, and faster way of producing food. For example Golden Rice" (a GM rice enriched in vitamin A) can improve the quality of life of millions of vitamin A deficient children around the world. Diseases and insect resistant corn, soybean and cottons use less (or no) toxic chemical pesticides and insecticides, which are known to be detrimental to human heath and the environment. GM foods are always tested for toxicity and allergenicity before being on the market.

Already, 60% of all food products in North America contain GM ingredients and yet after a decade not one cough or headache has been linked to GM foods.

Raelians in the US are asking their grocers to order GM products in order to help the development of this highly beneficial science which will ensure global food security, improve the quality of food and is notably much better for the environment.
