Genetically engineered B.C. apples OK’d for U.S.

Note in the first video that Neal Carter states that the apple will NOT be labeled as genetically modified, as it should be, because they don’t want to “demonize” it. In other words, they will deny people the right to choose non-GMO food. He outright lies and states they have been testing and testing and they are safe. Where is the data supporting that claim? They have not given the data to others to examine, as the opposition leader speaks of in the second video. The next issue is…why? Why genetically modify an apple so you take away the beneficial enzymes? These enzymes are necessary for the body to digest food! Nature created them perfectly, and modifying them for appearances is beyond stupid.
And, from a Communications standpoint — note how they place the GMO positive video on top of the report, and the protestors at the bottom of the report — and note how the “reporter” states that *everybody* eats GMOs, so what’s the big deal about this? She immediately places her opinion in the piece, trying to influence the viewer and quash opposition before it has begun.
