The poison as human food

The president interested in authorizing these cultivation transgenics: Sagarpa
México. - The pressures of transnational, they have been worst in recent days, Elena Alvarez-Buylla (EAB) indicates, investigating of the Ecology Institute of the UNAM and integrating of Scientists Union Committed with the Society (UCSS in Spanish). It is lamentable, says that the Mexican authorities may have relinquished to the requirements of the international corporations, and that in "middle of the electoral process and of the agricultural cycle spring - summer and without no advertisement of the federal government, were approved three new permits for corn sowing transgenic in pilot phase in favor of Monsanto, in the north of Tamaulipas".

According to EAB, chairwoman of the Executive Committee of the UCCS, the release of new cultivation biotechnological sit has been granted, in spite of the fact that officials of the responsible institutions in the matter, "are conscious of the damages and dangers (that they have been demonstrated scientifically), as are the transgenics that have for the human health and the environment". The responsible bureaucratic institutions are: Agriculture Ministry, Cattle-raising, Rural Development, Fishing and Nourishment (Sagarpa, in Spanish), and the Environment and Natural Resources Ministry (Semarnat, in Spanish).

Transnational corporations attempt against the sovereignty
It is considered an attempt against the sovereignty that would benefit an interest deprived in detriment of the public, emphasized it. Under the pressures that receives Mexico, added that "do not have detailed information, but what can say of first hand is that in a meeting that several civil organizations we supported with the Ministry of the Sagarpa, Francisco Javier Mayorga, overwhelmed by the questions that were making to him, he said us: ‘Look at that, in matter of transgenics are not chemically pure, there are interest and the Felipe Calderon president, and a public servant, we have interest in which (these) are approved'. There will be that to ask to him what type of interest and what type of agreements is arriving".

The academic Miguel Altieri warned that after 20 years since the genetically modified organizations (OGM) were begun to use in the world, it has been demonstrated scientifically that they are not the promised "magic solution" to the food problem and to the environmental deterioration. To the contrary it asserted, the biotechnology agricultural has answered only to economic criteria promoted by an industry, and their application is having harmful results and demonstrated for the human health and for the environment. Also it added that the corporations devoted to the biotechnology are concentrated in cultivation to satisfy the needs of large and sure markets, as that of the agrocombustibles.

Poisoned foods
In these days when we go to the market the foods that they are sprayed with poison go through "normal" and is not declared in no label, while there are other healthy foods and that they are not of seeds transgenics and they do not need any poison for their development, we need to label them and they are more expensive in the market. It is as well as they sold the foods accompanied with agrotoxics (also calls agrochemically), that cheat us upon selling them as normal and don’t fall ourselves in the certainty that it is a deceit to the public, and we do not protest upon consuming them. The ten transnational that control 90 percent of the sale of agrotoxics at world level from among those which can recall, they are: Syngenta, Bayer, Basf, Monsanto, Dow and Dupont they are the greats. It is not chance that these companies control the business of agrotoxics and the seeds for the sowing called transgenics, these same transnational have created the poison that now is consummated the world over.

The fraud to the public are the foods transgenics that they have increased their toxicity to the 100 percent to make them most resistant to the parasites and to the human since are manipulated to tolerate greater use of agrotoxics, so that about the all plant is died, and so that the plant transgenic follows live then of the intense poison bath to the fact that is submitted to it artificially. This poison not only is remained in the land and in the water, since their high content of toxic goes to the food that is elaborated with them. In the places where is sown soybean transgenic must change the laws on the health in the countries to increase 200 times the residues level of agrotoxics permitted in foods of the contrary would be illegal foods by be a risk to the health.

The companies now sells the increasingly concentrated product due to the fact that no longer has consequences in the weeds to eliminate that surround to the cultivation produced for food, and add to it surfactants, and chemical others so that penetrate better - converting to the glifosato in a poison of high power -. However the few efficiency of the poison is going in increase, and they are watering in the land and in the poisons air more toxic in the cultivation as the famous 2.4D that it is a component of the chemical weapon orange agent. These poisons for the human being are every time applied to the transgenics in massive form by means of planes that smudge large areas, affecting vast bordering areas, nearby populations, and sources of water for the human being.

The cultivation of transgenics has meant the use of the herbicide glifosato in the history of the agriculture. In a principle said us that the agrotoxics were necessary to feed to the world to make to yield to the cultivation that feed us, equal has passed with the transgenics. However now it is hungrier than never and million of children born to a toxic future as cockroaches, that they have been returned resistant to the toxic in the environment. But the great lie is to the overdraft and the resistance in the race humanizes to the commercial deceit continues growing. (La Jornada, economía, p. 25, July 14, 2012).
