Vitamin-A deficiency around the world leads to between 250,000 and 500,000 children going blind – every single year. Half of them die within a year of losing their sight. And several other health problems stem from this urgent issue.
Yet, a solution to this global health threat is available today, and it could quickly help 250 million preschool children around the world who are vitamin-A deficient, as estimated by the World Health Organization.
That said, exactly how many countries today are growing "Golden Rice" – a genetically-modified seed with three genes that produce beta-carotene, a vitamin-A precursor – to assist their underfed and vulnerable populations?
Zero.
Yes, it's difficult to fathom, that an effective tool for improving health and battling starvation on a global scale – one that's been available since 1999 and backed by more than 100 of the world's most distinguished scientists – is still not being used........
WHAT'S THE HOLDUP?.............Greenpeace and its supporters.....longstanding and rabid anti-GMO position......To Read More....
My Take - Once again we see just how the green/left is in sync with real science. Once again we see how irrational, misanthropic and morally defective is the green/left movement. Once again we see crimes against humanity perpetrated by the green/left and no one is being charged with this obvious crime.
