Several scientists in India and from Monsanto are giving a green signal for Bt Brinjal to be adopted in India.. They claim it to be safe.. The same way it happened with Trans fat in India or the Bt Cotton seeds.. Remember the Bt Cotton problem in India.. Not many know about its link to mass farmer suicides..
Anyways, can these scientists have their children or pregnant wives have Bt Brinjal for a long time. These same Scientists did not tell us about the trans fats.. until an NGO published the harmful affects of the same... or the 95% of Honey in India containing Antibiotics which strictly should not be eaten by pregnant ladies.
The patents laws on these foods would keep us on the mercy of these companies.. Besides the "untested" food by Monsanto.(Not all GM crops are harmful..but crops by Monsanto are not eaten by their own employees).. They do not get a green signal in Europe... Why do the scientists in Europe differ.. Or they do not subscribe to these scientists..
Monsanto(the Bt Brinjal) manufacturer has been known for their callous attitude to the public health. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto. See how many people have died because of this company... Remember the mass suicides among farmers in Andra Pradesh... Very few know about this related to Monsanto.
A decade down the line when new studies would show the harmful affects of Bt Brinjal, almost all our population would already be affected. The original crops also would have become trans-pollinated.
