Stop genetically modified 2,4-D herbicide tolerant GE corn entering Australia and New Zealand.
Genetically modified 2,4-D herbicide tolerant GE corn has been supported by minister Kate Wilkinson without knowing the effects of this food on human consumption. We are petitioning against the approval of this corn seed.
The GE 2,4-D herbicide-tolerant corn has been engineered with two foreign genes, so that it can survive three applications of two herbicides 2,4-D and quizalofop-P-ethyl over its growing season. To date there have been no studies to see what, if any, are the effects of 2,4-D and its metabolites on humans, but published studies on animals fed GE foods show changes to organs and blood parameters, the worst leading to kidney and liver damage.
We need to protect our food supply and stop this now!!!
