Hybrid

Hybrid variety means creation of new organism by bringing together genetic material of 2 related organisms- this process occurs naturally in nature or even under controlled conditions in fields. A hybrid rose with bright colours and sweet smell.

Today most of the rice consumed by general public in cities is HYV (High Yielding Varieties)

These HYV of grains are artificially genetically engineered resulting in dwarf varieties when compared to traditional long & thick, and similarly harvest period too has been shortened while in traditional varieties sowing and harvest depended on seasons conducive to farming

The flip side to these HYV is highly susceptible to attack of pests and diseases- but unknown are the pests and diseases because of change in their genetic constitution

Farmers have been complaining of decreasing yield of HYV paddy, wheat and other crops over the years and increased use of pesticides and fertilizers

With decreasing productivity the soil has increasing salinity / deprived of essential nutrients and more dependent on synthetic artificial fertilizers and externally applied nutrients- this gets accumulated into the grains eventually consumed by people

Genetically Modified

GMO as 'is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.'So can comfortably assume that a food which in perfect in all respects might not be a SAFE FOOD. Any food which does not contain GMO's or any kind of manipulation by science and technology is safe to consume.

GMO food have not been extensively tested for human consumption, it has always been seen as a route to produce More crops and also crops to suit our needs like crops free of pests/ crops able to withstand harsh weather/ crops or fruits designed to produce bright colour and texture of its skin/ crops which can be harvested in lesser time period and much more based on conveniences. This is SIMPLY against nature.

The cases of GMO in our food cycles-
BT Brinjal, which generates its own pesticide to kill the insects which sits on it. If an insect can die after sitting on this plant. Is it safe to humans?
Genetically modified – Strawberries which intakes fishes gene, GM Carrot which intakes scorpion gene. Are the GMO's really vegetarian, in reality it's not. But the seed manufacturers claim it gives good yield. Can we feed poison to keep everyone alive in this world What a DAMN Idea…..

Switch to safe food

India a hot center for growing anemic cases- deficiency of Iron in body is termed anemic. So what do we do? Do we propose to introduce genetically modified Bananas with high Iron content? Organic scientists, activists and farmers are protecting indigenous plants and their knowledge which highlights the importance of biodiversity of nutrients in our diet. They have been raising voices against GMO Bananas and other plants into our system in the pretext of reducing anemia. The diversity in our traditional food varieties has always kept us healthy. Why run behind a humble Banana and turn it into a GMO, while we can adopt other Iron rich vegetables to beat Anemia?

Eat naturally grown rice, wheat, vegetables, millets and fruits. Which will make us live a healthy and a holistic life which made our ancestors to live a healthier life even at the age of 130. Rather don't spend your money in eating Hybrid, GMO or pesticide sprayed foods and shed your money to your doctor and medicine.

Grow your own kitchen garden, where you can cultivate your own vegetables and fruits which you can use it for yourself and can be rest assured you are eating the natural one.
Let's be natural and truth full to save our environment…
