The G8 is saying that genetically modified food is a solution, for the food problem in Ethiopia. But I think that's complete nonsense. Because nobody wants to really eat GM food. Because even scientifically it's not proven yet that GM is alright, is as good as organic food. So if G8, I mean people in G8 countries are refusing to eat GM food, why do G8 countries think that countries like Ethiopia will eat that food? Because they don't want to eat it. They want a choice. They want their own food. Their own choice. And besides they can produce. They haven't tried enough, hard enough to exhaust what resources Ethiopia has. Because Ethiopia is not really poor. She has water resource, enough land. So this GM is not going to work. And it will be a destruction to the environment. And to people's health. To the economy. To the culture. So it's a complete destruction. GM is not the answer.
