F6, that as a good news story is not so easy for me .. if the famine in Somalia was being better dealt with it would be ..
ultimately i'll go with science, though would sure like to read of the poor benefiting from gm food more than i've seen so far ..

The first three links .. in your bottom list of this one ..

Our analysis clearly reveals for the 3 GMOs new side effects linked with GM maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system. We conclude that these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the new pesticides specific to each GM corn. In addition, unintended direct or indirect metabolic consequences of the genetic modification cannot be excluded. .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=61752360

The scramble for Africa is getting hotter today than it may have been during the
Berlin Conference at which she was partitioned. The partitioning of Africa sowed
the seeds of discord and conflict that we are reaping today. Today, certain
concepts have been painstakingly constructed and foisted on the continent. And
this has been done in order to have Africa so compromised that she would simply
just beg to be colonised once more. We are talking about the onslaught by the
biotech industry on the innards of this continent.

The siege is on. Many people imagine that the pressure on Africa to accept genetically modified
grains or other crops as food aid ended with the widely known case with Zambia in 2002 ..

Hope i got all those links right, but they, and more, are inside somewhere .. in the end, as mentioned above, i'll go with science ..

Statement on gene technology and gm plants

The Australian Academy of Science supports the responsible and ethical use of gene technologies to produce genetically modified plants for use in Australian agriculture and works with governments, scientists, NGOs, international organisations and the community on all GM-related issues.

Australian science has a key role to assist in global food security. There are already immediate urgent needs in the developing world to secure yields and to reduce the impact of pests, diseases and environmental degradation. In the mid to longer term, there is likely to be a need to improve food security in developed countries like Australia, as water, climate change impact and land degradation limits the capacity of agricultural production. Gene technology can play a role in the alleviation of malnutrition, enhancing sustainability and securing yields worldwide. Its potential must be harnessed. Sometimes, the lack of full certainty, in an environment of manageable risk, should not be used as the reason to postpone measures where genetic modification can legitimately be used to address environmental or public health issues. .. http://www.science.org.au/policy/gene-tech.html

The ones re the big corporations probably are no big deal as what else would happen .. the bees one
could be one of the most important ones .. again .. just wish i knew the poor were benefiting more .. :)
