Tell the USDA: Don't Trust the Makers of the GE Apple!
A Canadian company is asking the USDA to approve a genetically engineered (GE) apple that will not brown when exposed to oxygen.
We know that sliced apples turn brown, but they don't lose any flavor or nutritional value, and not even the apple industry wants this genetically engineered product. So why is this Canadian company spending millions of dollars on developing the GE apple? It's all about the $120 million in profits they are projected to receive in the first ten years of bringing the GE apple to market.
But is that money worth putting an unlabeled, untested, unnecessary and potentially unsafe product out on the market? We don't think so!
Tell the USDA to reject the GE apple today.
Hey JML, you still got that land near Bastrop? They want $500 a night at motels in Bastrop for the F1 race.
