Prioritise organic foods (The Goan Everyday 19 March).
That was a very informative piece on the ill effects of genetically modified food products on the health of people.
The report rightly states, the increased used of fertilizers, pesticides and spraying of harmful chemicals is impacting the health of humans. Gone are the days when one could relish natural foods & fruits.
The upcoming mango season will see the fruit being artificially ripened in order to sell fast. Take for instance, the banana, the humble man's fruit I would call it, which used to be green in colour has now turned yellow.
And in the bargain, the fruit has lost it's taste! It seems like man is out to destroy himself in the pursuit of wealth. Man's greed knows no bounds, whether it is in the developed nations or underdeveloped nations.
Man seems to have lost his sanity. The sooner we realise this, the better would it be, or else, we are on the road to self-destruction.
