我自己就比较犹豫。因为如果业内人士都还在争论,我怎么就知道它一定没问题了呢?再加上孟山都这个企业大鳄竟然能让美国政府做出那么偏向他们的法律,不得不让人有点怀疑,真的一切都是经过科学检验了的吗?
你再参考一下这个:
Monsanto's Government Ties
"Agricultural biotechnology will find a supporter occupying the White House next year, regardless of which candidate win the election in November" - Monsanto Inhouse Newsletter, 2000
A Monsanto official told the New York Times that the corporation should not have to take responsibility for the safety of its food products. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job."
It would be nice to think the FDA can be trusted with these matters, but think again. Monsanto has succeeded in insuring that government regulatory agencies let Monsanto do as it wishes. Take a look:
Prior to being the
Supreme Court Judge who put GW Bush in office,
Clarence Thomas was Monsanto's lawyer.

In order for the FDA to determine if Monsanto's growth hormones were safe or not, Monsanto was required to submit a scientific report on that topic. Margaret Miller, one of Monsanto's researchers put the report together. Shortly before the report submission, Miller left Monsanto and was hired by the FDA. Her first job for the FDA was to determine whether or not to approve the report she wrote for Monsanto. In short, Monsanto approved its own report. Assisting Miller was another former Monsanto researcher, Susan Sechen. Deciding whether or not rBGH-derived milk should be labeled fell under the jurisdiction of another FDA official, Michael Taylor, who previously worked as a lawyer for Monsanto.
