Documentary Targets GM Agriculture

The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) has released a new documentary, Genetic Roulette: The Game of Our Lives, that accuses the U.S. government of permitting “untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply.” Based on IRT founder Jeffrey Smith’s book of the same title, the film alleges that “the same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the U.S. population.”

“Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory disease, and infertility
are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab
animals that eat [GM] soybeans and corn,” opines IRT, which ultimately urges
consumers to refrain from eating GM ingredients in an effort to ward off “the
deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children.”
