Major US environmental groups parrot Monsanto’s talking points! - Bonus Episode
What could destroy us is half-truths. Tragically, when a coalition of US non-profits proposed a framework for responsible regulation of gene editing, they got it only half right. What they got wrong could be devastating for health and the planet.
The article was authored by groups including the Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, and the World Wildlife Fund. To the uninitiated, their words sounded reasonable and measured. After all, they correctly acknowledged that gene-edited products should not be considered as safe as conventional foods and crops. The process can lead to serious side effects.
But when it came time to spell out what regulators should actually do, the coalition played right into the hands of the biotech spin machine.
It’s important for people to understand these issues, otherwise a sensible-sounding policy could lead to disaster.
