TRUST SCIENCE? IT'S DEEPLY CORRUPTED TOO - THE CASE OF BRITISH PRO-GMO SCIENTISTS

 

Scientists' hidden links to the GM food giants: Disturbing truth behind official report that said UK should forge on with Frankenfoods.

Government advisory body presented an 'independent' report on Thursday

It was used to support a bid to speed up the use of GM food in the UK

Critics of GM last night described the report as ‘biased and downright dangerous’, and accused the biotech giants and the Government of mounting a crude propaganda campaign to overturn public opposition.  The academics behind the study were chosen by the Council for Science and Technology, the body that advises the Prime Minister on science policy issues.  In the report presented at a press conference on Thursday, no information was given about the five scientists beyond their names and the institutions they work for.
