Poison on the Platter
“Poison on the Platter”, is an eye-opening film, made by Mahesh Bhatt and Ajay Kanchan, illustrating how all of our lives will be adversely affected by genetically modified foods.
It is no more a farmer’s issue alone, it’s a matter of the consumers’ right to food safety.
We wouldn’t even be able to separate/choose a normal Brinjal from/over a GM one, if Bt Brinjal - a GM crop produced by the mighty agri-MNC Monsanto - is let through by our corrupt regulatory body.
Though the Govt of India has decided to delay the GM Crops project for the time being followed by massive protestss at different levels of the society but HAS NOT ruled out re-enforcing them in the future.
Each one of us has the right to make our voices heard.
