“Earlier this year, the Chinese army ordered all military supply stations to purchase only non-GMO grains due concerns over the health issues caused by genetically modified foods.” C Sarich
The true harm perpetrated by the makers of GMOs and glyphosate-based herbicides were discussed by experts the last week of July in Beijing. It was an event organized by The China Development Strategy Research Society Committee of Cultural Strategy.
This Food Safety & Sustainable Agriculture (FSSA) Forum included 26 genetic researchers, university professors, medical doctors, veterinarians, livestock farmers, farmers, agricultural consultants, mothers, NGO founders and leaders, as well as social activists from China, Taiwan, Germany, New Zealand, U.S.A., Russia, U.K., France, Denmark, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, and Peru.

The director of Sustainable Pulse, Henry Rowlands, pointed out the sheer size and magnitude of such an event with so many key figures in the GMO fight present:
“The size of the event and the media interest in China surrounding it shows that the issue of GMOs and glyphosate-based herbicides is now being taken very seriously at all levels of Chinese society.”
