GE food no solution for food crisis, says Vatican’s Cardinal Martino
The responsibility for the food crisis ”is in the hands of unscrupulous people who focus only on profit and certainly not on the well-being of all people,” said Cardinal Martino. A more just system of distribution and not the manufacturing of genetically modified foods is the key to addressing the problem, he said. ”If one wants to pursue GMOs (genetically modified organisms) one can freely do so, but without hiding that it’s a way to make more profits,” he said.
