In an open letter published in The Times newspaper, several American celebrities and over 57 million Americans warn UK citizens about the dangers of growing GMO crops, and the importance of speaking out for their right to decide whether or not to grow them.
Susan Sarandon, Daryl Hannah, and Robert Kennedy Jr have joined trade groups like the Food & Water Watch, the Sierra Club, the Rachel Carson Council, Friends of the Earth, the Organic Consumers Association, Dr Bronner’s, and NYR Organic to warn the UK of the peril which GM crops could cause if people don’t speak out in time.
The open letter details the challenges that American farmers have had to face, as nearly two decades now of genetically altered crops have littered our once-pristine fields and farms.
Pamm Larry and Diana Reeves, as well as Beyond GM Director, Pat Thomas, were the original champions of the letter, and helped to organize its completion.
The fully referenced letter, is signed by groups and individuals representing 57 million members and supporters. It is clear now that most of the world, including scientists and even former biotech supporters, have seen the light concerning GM food dangers. It is an unsustainable model to feed the world. Its main goal was never to ‘feed’ anyone, but make profits for companies whose best-selling products are chemicals.
