Author Jeffrey Smith, known from the international bestseller 'Seeds of Deception' will be visiting Bhubaneswar to launch his new book: Genetic Roulette
Place and dateIMAGE Sunday 25th of January 2008 |
Genetic Roulette
"Genetic Roulette offers a wealth of information and knowlegde on the issue of GE foods and their disastrous impact on human health, drawing from well-documented scientific studies and evidence from accross the globe. We are sure that Indian citizens and the indian media will use this book to vigourously debate the consesuences of bringing genetically engineered foods (described eloquently as Frankenfoods) into our kitchens and onto our plates, thereby dramatically enhancing the potential threat to the health of the one billion people of this country. This debate should be owned up by the citizens of this country. They ought to confront the policy makers who, even now, are unable to decide whose well-being they ought to keep formost in mind: that of the biotech industry or of the indian people."
From the foreword by P.V. Santeesh, Convenor, South Against Genetic Engineering (SAGE)
