Solution - go organic
In the wake of Marks and Spencer's announcement that it is to start removing genetically modified soya and maize from animal feed, Greenpeace's food specialist Stokely Webster explains the significance of this latest development.
Greenpeace is launching a campaign on GM [Genetically Manipulated]
animal feed. Through consumer pressure GM soya and maize have been
phased out of much of the food we eat directly but it still forms up to
30% of farm animal feed. Greenpeace is negotiating with international
feed suppliers and supermarkets to ensure supplies of non-GM animal
feed.
While the [UK] Government ignores the lessons of BSE, consumers know
that there is a direct link between what we feed our animals and our own
health. The use of GM in food is unnecessary and it should be banned
now.
