What do Wazuans and Kenya think about the debate going on right now about GM?

Facts... life expectancy in Kenya, 59 yrs with almost zero GMO food, life expectancy in USA 79 yrs with 81-86% of total corn produce via GMO

Prof Olweny comes out and declares that he has eaten GM food to prove that the food is save. Seems he may not get away with it as some bloggers on Nation.co.ke website note. Here are some of the comments.

"No wonder he looks genetically modified himself!GM food does not have the unadulterated nutrients found in whole organic foods"

"Just Looking at the Prof's face...yes, I agree he has eaten GM food!"

"It is not only his looks; his temper has also been modified!"

@Drunkard. Give us more examples where GMO food can enhance life expectancy. However, 'natural' foods r definately beta in terms of quality of health.

Is anyone aware of the impact that GMOs are having on Bee populations (www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr9ztQPNXA)? No one is asking why more than 60% of the American population is obese? Why healthcare costs in America are exponentialy increasing? Why cancer rates are unprecedented in this same country full of dolts who are not in the least concerned?

There are consequences to mocking about in such matters. This country needs to pursue alternatives that are ecologically sound. We need better anticipation of climatic changes and to better manage the Agricultural production to create food security instead of relying on alternatives that could provide insurmountable challenges to our own feeble minded and uncaring government in the future.

Yesterday an Apple a day kept the doctor away, but today as a result of high pesticide content, an apple a day will probably put you in hospital some day. This proves that there are patches in human knowledge that are yet unfilled and are mostly of unsound basis. We perpetually create problems and bask in our own soiled diapers..

I would take natural food as the best food for one's health, however, it is obvious that organic food can nolonger sustain the population, you can either die of malnurishment, starvation or eat GMO, Americans does and they still live upto average of 79yrs!

I would encourage EVERYONE to watch a documentary called FOOD INC! Noma. It will open your eyes on how the global agricultural market is manipulated in favour of a few entities thus compromising the health of the population at large

i found it shameful that we couldnt raise such a small sum for such an important project that would reduce dependency on donations

@ Drunkard.
Wacha bangi mingi.
Increased expectancy saa ngapi.
When I was in Kenya, the number of diseases that I knew or heard of was small and were not catastrophic compared to when I came to States. The numbers are just alarming. Do some research and stop depending on Olweny.

Sometime back, I enquired on how much it would cost to dig a borehole/well, the one that has water for good once dug and Kenya army gave me a quotation of a million shs. If the army has those equipments, why should some Kenyans starve??
