No sooner had Brexit been approved, than the GMO lobby shifted up a few gears Details
Discussion around new GMOs should be chance to ask uncomfortable questions about research and innovation, not sneer at non-GMO-believers, say professors
In the article below from the Belgian press, four professors (from schools of law, philosophy of science, and bioengineering) warn that Brexit shouldn t be a reason for deregulating new GMOs.
They make a number of extremely important points. Among them, that the driving force behind deregulation in Britain and parts of Europe – they focus on Belgium – is not really the issues that are flagged up (the hype about silver-bullet solutions to agricultural problems), but the lobbying power of Big Ag, together with an obsession at the national level with competitive advantage.

Last December 14, 2020, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) finally approved the first GE (Genetically Engineered) pig safe for human consumption. The approval serves as a greenlight for producers to mass-produce the GE pigs.
Known as GalSafe pigs, these pigs do not have the alpha-gal sugars in their system. Alpha-gal is a sugar molecule found in most mammals, including pigs. These sugars can trigger mild to a severe allergic reaction called the AGS (Alpha-Gal Syndrome).
Getting the facts about genetically modified foods is a lot easier these days. One scientist explains how not only do these GMO crops withstand extreme weather but they also need fewer chemicals.
