    This is what happens when . . .

     This is what happens when several countries make a treaty that is poorly worded or doesn't take into account possible future developments. I am predicting that Costa Rica will get the shaft if the Ticos vote for inclusion in CAFTA. They will have to serve two masters - the CAFTA and their own constitution.

    GM Crops produce more trouble than food.

     Because GM crops have not been properly tested for health and safety over the long term for both humans and the enviroment and because many questions persist over who will control future food production, many countries are banning GM crops and many more people are protesting governemnt and private plans to test these crops in a manner which would almost certainly lead to the spread of the GM crops to non-GM crop fields.

    Genetically Modified Crops Produce More Trouble Than Food

     The large chemical companies vying for control of GM crops are running into an increasingly vocal people's protest against them. GM crops are impossible to control environmentally and threaten farmers with future disaster. No one has really tested these crops for long-term safety both to animals and to the environment.

     Sounds good at first reading, but then note the 200 meter isolation. This is nothing considering that both wind caried pollen and insect carried pollen will inevitably cross over a small area such as 200 meters. Contamination of nearby natural crops cannot be assured!

     No one mentions the very big problem of who owns the patents to these modified crops. The patent holder will have ultimate power of life and death when everyone converts to the GM crops.
