Indian ’I am no lab rat’ campaign launched against GM food

HAMARA BEEJ Abhiyan, a movement to restore the right to seed of farmers, has launched a campaign against the introduction of Genetically Modified food. Formally titled ’I am no lab rat’, this campaign highlights the fact that human beings are being subjected to a mass experiment by way of GM food [...] The concern that this campaign points out is that genes of sexually incompatible species are being interchanged. Spider, scorpion, toxic bacteria and even human genes are being introduced into such commonly consumed food such as brinjal, cabbage, cowpeas, okra and even rice
