Biotech Food Quotes


"Biotech companies love to talk about feeding the world, but their products must pay off in a market that measures dollar demand, not human need. By far the greatest effort has gone into the potato that makes fast-food fries, not the yam grown by folks with no cash. The corn that feeds America's pigs and chickens, not the dryland millet that feeds Africa's children. The diseases of the rich, not the plagues of the poor. There is some public funding and corporate charity directed toward gene manipulations that might conceivably help feed the world, but the vast majority of minds and bucks are working on caffeine-free coffee beans, designer tomatoes, seedless watermelons. They always will, if the market is the guide."

Donella Meadows
Are Bioengineered Potatoes Organic?
‘Whole Earth’, Summer 1999

 

“If we are what we eat, with all the genetically modified and imitation foods we now eat, what the heck are we?”
