When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

I am happy there is a movement like this in Ghana to oppose all these abnormal food and products in Ghana. PLEASE INSIST ON YOUR RIGHTS AND SAY A VEHEMENT NO TO GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD WHICH HAS ALL MANNER OF DISEASES AND ADVERSE EFFECTS ON HUMANS. OUR FORE FATHERS CONSUMED NATURAL PRODUCTS WHICH MADE THEM LIVE LONG, IS THIS A WAY OF WIPING THE POOR AFRICAN RACE. WHY SHOULD WE CONSUME THIS AND FALL SICK WHO PAYS THE HEALTH BILLS? WILL THE BILLS BE DEFRAYED BY THEIR SO CALLED AID. PLEASE ENOUGH OF THOSE OUR BODIES ARE NOT MEANT FOR SUCH EXPERIMENT. IF THIS IS A GOOD THING WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING TRANSPARENT AND HIDING BEHIND CLOSE DOORS TO DISCUSS THIS?

I thank God that Ghana is becoming wise. This kind of food will not help us in anyway, instead, they will bring diseases, ailments and misery that are foreign to us: so all efforts should be put in place to resist this kind of food coming into our dear country. Not everything from or about the West is good. Don't let these Americans bully you into accepting things that will go in their favour in the end.

" The fly that would not heed advice will follow the corpse into the grave". Ghana is in haste to a dead end ! If significantly more advanced countries like Britain and India reject GM seeds, why would we rush and force our people to become perpetually enslaved by American technology ? Don't we have the common sense that the nation would not be able to farm until we receive seeds from America every farming season! What if the ships do not dock in a season.
Our corrupt scientists and policy makers are selling the nation for "a mess of potage !!! ".

No country has ever become rich by producing raw materials. for others to process them and then sell back to the producer at high prices.

Fellow countrymen you are absolutely right in opposing GMF. Never again should America or any other country take us for a ride anymore. Let us collectively be vigilant.

Recorded Deaths from GM: In 1989, dozens of Americans died and several thousands were afflicted and impaired by a genetically modified version of the food supplement L-tryptophan creating a debilitating ailment known as Eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS) . Released without safety tests, there were 37 deaths reported and approximately 1500 more were disabled. A settlement of $2 billion dollars was paid by the manufacturer, Showa Denko, Japan's third largest chemical company destroyed evidence preventing a further investigation and made a 2 billion dollar settlement. Since the very first commercially sold GM product was lab tested (Flavr Savr) animals used in such tests have prematurely died.

GM foods also cause a lot of allergies and other health problems . Ghana doesn't have enough money to take on the extra health problems that these things bring. It will over-burden our healthcare system, and could even compromise the NHIS, labor force and eventually GDP. Watchout Ghana!!!!

The Illuminati (Killuminati), the New World Order, etc wants to reduce the population of the world from 7.5bn to 500ml. The best ways are wars, famine & thru food & drugs. Do you remember the hepatitis B vaccination, where many got paralyzed, died, etc before it was stopped? GMF, like many of the imported food, agricultural chemicals,infant vaccinations, will result in incurable diseases in years ahead. The white man will SELL drugs to us (getting our little cash too), we take them and die eventually. Our Parliamentarians, hmm, well, I don't want to be in CONTEMPT but they have to wake up.

Many think the white man loves and is always helping the black. FSG must educate the masses so that all gets to know what this GMF really is. They can's fight alone. If a bulk of Ghanaians are aware, it'll be easy to win. FSG must do radio, tv, etc education. O, let me just ask - Food & Drugs Board, what do they do?

They are there to sell everything American companies wants to sell especially what they know they can always get away with in the third world. Start with the free food they give you. Test those food and you will know the origin or many of the viruses and out-breaks. If I can not feed my own children but show too much interest in feeding your children and you don't question my morals then you stand to be who they think you are. Enough is already enough. How many more children should be vacinated under cover of free health this and that, how many more people have to die silently. Start with questioning the free this and the free that and save some life. If you really care then show it by feeding your children fight.

Hello Faustina,

Why don't you let the US Embassy come out to deny the claims of Food Sovereignty Ghana, whether or not a closed door meeting was planned prior to the afternoon session?

Which "rountable discussion" are you talking about? The one in the morning or the one in the afternoon? FSG received a written invitation. Everything is spelled black and white in that letter.

There were two activities outlined. "Roundtable Discussion and an Interdisciplinary Presentation on biotechnology at the US Embassy on July 10 beginning at 9:30am." At what time were you there?

The first meeting was open only to ten experts and ten sceptics of the biotechnology. Our statement refers to what was entailed in the letter sent to us!

Please, stop misinforming Ghanaians!

Ghanaians have the fundamental right to know what they are eating! The fact that they have managed to sneak GM foods into the country does not mean we should do nothing about it. Ghanaians are not guinea pigs to be experimented on! What is practical about eating anything that is harmful to humans and our environment?

Keep away from genetically modified products-even if they are offered 'free'. GMOs are population-killers.
