All I can really say is… wow. And that’s not a good ‘wow.’
I had a general awareness of the issues surrounding the genetic engineering of food, but this film gives an excellent and in-depth overview of both the scientific and ethical concerns stemming from this technology. I can’t even begin to comment yet on all the points that hit me; I’m still processing it all to be able to communicate the ideas in my own words, and I need to watch it again. But one thing I can say for sure: this film certainly reinforced my commitment to organics. Whether we’re talking about food, personal care, or textiles, organic = no genetic modification (among other important distinctions).
The whole film is up online for viewing at the link below. I would love to hear your thoughts and reactions after you’ve watched it.
