Crossing a vegetable with a virus at a gentic level and then metabolising it into your body


please show me the evidence that vegies are being crossed with virus`s cos it sounds like propaganda to me

the pertinent bit being "...a cauliflower virus used in GM foods..."

"...or adding genes from a virus to a plant to allow it to become resistant to the virus."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/food_under_the_microscope/280868.stm

"Cauliflowers are naturally infected with a virus that is commonly used in the laboratory for modification purposes, and we eat millions of the vegetables with no ill effects."

"GM foods contain randomly inserted genes from foreign organisms. These often include genetic elements of viruses and bacteria. In some cases an antibiotic resistant gene is also included. In the case of the biggest GM food crop, Monsanto's GM soya there are genes from a virus, a soil bacterium and a petunia, none of which have been in human food before."

"The promoter gene which is placed into the majority of GM foods is from a virus; a common virus chosen for this purpose is the cauliflower mosaic virus..."


etc.

it surprises me that you do not consider the false and famous motto 'GM food saves the starving' by the desperate multi-million dollar companies...propaganda itself.

what would a respectable citizen have to gain from rejecting the introduction of UN-necessary genetically modified foods and be accused of propaganda by you has left me puzzled, dude, especially when the US has not solved the starvation problem already in spite of having wholly embraced GM food for over, what, a decade already...
