A. What are experts' concerns about genetically modified chile?
- Experts are concerned because we are putting chemical waste in our food that is contaminating our food and bodies. The hurts the eco system and impacts our health. This also impacts higher healthcare costs.
B.Do you think their concerns are justified?
-I think that their concerns are justified because there is proof that is bad for humans and our environment. Some of the food companies do not publish their findings about their crops for a long time which may be too late as they are already introduced into our food system.
C.How would you feel about red, green, or gm chile being your choices?
-I like locally grown chile and support small businesses therefore genetically modified chili that gets larger crops and bigger chili would not be my choice. I prefer New Mexico red chile over green chile, although many people like both. Locally grown and organic or not genetically modified chili is better for our health and our environment. This is a New Mexico tradition that has been around for generations and is part of our culture that should be preserved for many years to come.
