Yes,these crops do not produce seeds for planting the next crop,there-fore it leaves the end user at the mercy of the American GM companies.They also contaminate other organic crops in the surrounding area.That's why the Europeans don't want them.

All crops are genetically modified. Man has been farming and improving crops since the beginning of farming itself. Yes genetically modified plants do reproduce.
Africa needs all of the help it can get. It cannot afford to play politically correct games. Many on the continent are starving and need food, not grand pronouncements from corrupt politicians.
If Kofi wants them to avoid genetically modified plants perhaps he can take Africa out to each for three meals a day. I am sure that he can afford it given all of the money that he stole from the Iraqi Oil For Food Program.

Personally, I think that many areas of Africa need all the help they can get. And if that includes genetically modified crops, then so be it.

Let's see: starve or embrace better growing crops. If I were African, I know where I'd tell him to go!

starvation is always better than crops engineered to increase quality and quanity of food.

yes, it is better to starve now from hunger, than possibly get a cancer later on in life.

I think Masturbating Monkey (Kof Meonen) has no right to advise anyone on anything.
