GMO 2.0 deregulation corruption
All over the world attempts are made to deregulate so called 'new GMOs' or GMO 2.0. These attempts sometimes involve literal corruption by the GMO industry.
In 2023, the president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in ๐จ๐ฆ Candada was forced to resign over GMO corruption by a Big Biotech lobby group. It concerns an attempt to deregulate new GMO 2.0.

GMWatch, a critical GMO watchdog from the ๐ฌ๐ง UK, reported that deregulation of so called 'gene editing' is based on lies about its precision.
Even Harvard's George Church calls CRISPR "a blunt axe". He says, "it's called editing, I think it's really genome vandalism."
An investigation by Friends of the Earth Europe revealed that the ๐ช๐บ European Commissionโs proposalโs to deregulate new GMOs or so-called โnew genomic techniquesโ (NGTs) has been ghostwritten by the agribusiness lobbyists paid by the GMO industry.

GMO Free USA, a critical GMO watchdog from the ๐บ๐ธ USA, reported that deregulation has resulted in unethical marketing practices.
While the technologies used to create GMOs may be changing, they're still GMOs. The same GMO industry that spent millions to prevent the mandatory labeling of transgenic GMOs are now using clever marketing schemes to trick consumers into eating new GMOs.
Who cares about what animals eat?
Opposition against GMO is often based on concerns about health and safety and the GMO industry competes directly on such arguments to win the market.
Countries that banned GMO including all countries in ๐ช๐บ Europe and ๐ฒ๐ฝ Mexico, have massively imported GMO food to feed to animals.
Most animals in the ๐ฌ๐ง United Kingdom have been given GMO animal feed and most people therefore already consumed GMO.

To prevent GMO it is required to address it fundamentally (intellectually).
Be consistent! If GMO is banned, prevent it for animals!
