Raël and GMOs

Lies, Ignorance or Greed?

Raël has, for a long time, pressured Raëlians and others into believing that:

1. Genetically modified organism (GMOs) pose no danger to health

2. That genetically engineered food can feed the Earth’s populations at a cheaper cost.

3. That GMOs are derived for the same principles as those used in crossing the best specimens in nature and the animal kingdom, but that the results take less time.

4. That the opponents to genetically engineered (GE) food are somehow mentally inferior and are unfamiliar with the subject. Etc. etc.

What are the facts?

To all you truth seekers, I strongly recommend reading Marie-Monique Robin’s Le monde selon Monsanto.

She was the recipient of the Albert-Londres Prize in 1995. She has produced several prize-winning documentaries filmed in South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

She is also the author of several books, including “Voleurs d’organes – Enquête sur un trafic" (Bayard 1996), “Les Cents Photos du siècle” (Le chêne 1999), “Escadrons de la mort, l’école française” (La découverte 2004, 2006) and “L’école du soupcon. Les dérives de la lutte contre la pédophilie” (La découverte, 2006).

In reading Ms. Robin’s enquiry, you may not only learn
that Raël’s above claims are false, but that massive contamination by GE crops has already affected non-transgenic agriculture, including organic agriculture.
