The Case Against Introducing mRNA into Our Food Supply
The Case Against Introducing mRNA into Our Food Supply
Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology has garnered significant attention for its role in COVID-19 vaccines, but discussions have also emerged about the possibility of introducing mRNA into our food sources.
Introducing mRNA into our food sources raises ethical concerns related to transparency, informed consent, and consumer choice. Consumers have the right to make informed decisions about the food they consume, and introducing mRNA without clear labeling or public awareness undermines this fundamental principle.
Manipulating crop genetics through mRNA could result in unintended effects on ecosystems, including the potential for cross-pollination with wild plant species.
Not only, but mRNA, specifically introducing it into our food, would be entirely experimental, and if this experiment were to be taking place on such a large scale, without the consent of the consumer, it could very well be breaching the Geneva Convention, and therefore be considered a mass war crime.
If mRNA were to increase a loss of biodiversity on our farms, our plants would likely be more vulnerable to diseases that could on a wide scale level wipe out all of the production of said plant.
