No-go for GMOs

ABOUT a year ago, I wrote about the dangers of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. I talked about our advocacy against the commercialization of two GMOs. First, Malusog or Golden Rice was touted as the answer to vitamin A deficiency in Asia and Africa.

Questions about long-term dangers both to the population and the environment have been raised. Second is the Bt eggplant/talong, which was modified to be resistant to fruit and shoot borer pests.
