About three years ago (Nov 2003), I had posted about Genetically Modified (GM) foods. An article in the Straits Times, dtd 19th May 2006, that GM foods would soon be selling in Singapore and will not be labelled.
What this means is that:
1. we would not know what we are eating
2. we do not have a choice on what we are consuming
3. the producers of GM foods are experimenting with the population of Singapore
If we have a choice of the Advanced Medical Directive (AMD), I see no reason why we do not a choice on what we buy and eat. We would not know about the latter cause and effects of these foods. It would be too late to find out when the after effects happen.
We have first class governance, but this issue was not even discussed in the first place. What's wrong with normal food? Why are we mixing them with GM food products? The experiment to the population is thoughtless and maybe the producers "discovered" that Singapore propensity and acceptance to consume new goods and services.
If GM food is so glorious for the hungry world, they should sent it to famine areas where there is a dire shortage of food to go around.
