Chapter 1866: Genetically Modified Food

After leaving Zhang Ruiqiang, Feng Yu turned around and entered another compound not far away, where Young Master Lu was working.

At this time, Young Master Lu looked much calmer, maybe because of his age, or because of his status, he was no longer as flamboyant as when Feng Yu first met him.

Seeing Feng Yu coming in, Young Master Lu put down his pen, turned off the computer monitor, walked out from behind the desk, and pulled Feng Yu to sit on the sofa.

"I changed units, and you finally came to see me." Lu Shao said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you change units too often. I want to come. I'm really busy recently."

Feng Yu thought that after Young Master Lu went down to the local area, he should have worked in the local area for one or two terms, but he didn't know that he had not worked for two years, and he returned to the committee.

But this time, how did Young Master Lu come to such a unit? Food and Drug Administration~ Bureau, does Mr. Lu have any experience?

Feng Yu seriously suspected that it was because of such a vacancy that Young Master Lu's family worked hard to let Young Master Lu in. After working like this for two years, he would be a proper official of the border.

As for whether Young Master Lu has experience, this person doesn't care at all. Anyway, Young Master Lu doesn't need to go to the front line for testing. What he does is administrative work.

"It just so happens that you are here, and I have something else I want to ask you about." Seeing Feng Yu coming, Young Master Lu felt that this was something he was not sure about. Maybe Feng Yu knew how to solve it. After all, Feng Yu had been there so many times. He has a lot more knowledge than him.

"Have you heard of genetically modified crops? They are genetically modified cotton, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified soybeans."

Hearing these words, Feng Yu asked hesitantly, "Why, is the country planning to vigorously promote genetically modified crops?"

If it's just a cash crop, then Feng Yu thinks it doesn't matter. It is a good thing to be able to produce more cotton. But what about cottonseed oil, what about this one?

Moreover, corn and soybeans are used as food crops at this time and are edible. Although there is no clear proof that this genetically modified product is harmful, who knows how long the incubation period of this hazard is?

"Genetically modified cotton has long been vigorously promoted in our country. Now most of the cotton grown in our country is genetically modified, that is, BT cotton, and BT is a kind of pesticide."

"Now we are not sure whether we should vigorously promote genetically modified corn and soybeans. The yield of genetically modified crops is indeed much higher, and the oil yield is also higher."

"Let's put it this way, if we all grow genetically modified soybean oil, the price of ordinary soybean oil will be reduced by nearly half. This is a good deal for many people, right?"

Feng Yu looked at Young Master Lu: "Then what are you hesitating about?"

"It's not a question of whether the genetic modification is safe. We have also organized many experts to conduct research experiments, and so far no obvious harm to the human body has been found."

"However, many experts say that it is impossible to prove that there is no harm to the human body. Some people even want to recruit volunteers to conduct experiments, or simply use them to experiment. They insist that the safety of food cannot be guaranteed after changing the properties of proteins. .”

"You have a lot of experience, and you have traveled all over the world these years. What do you think about this? What do you say abroad?"

Feng Yu asked with a smile: "Then are you willing to eat genetically modified soybean oil?"

Lu Shao smiled awkwardly: "There are non-genetically modified ones, why should I eat genetically modified ones."

"Still, you are also worried. No matter whether the experts demonstrate the results, they are all short-term and have not undergone long-term experiments. The incubation period of many diseases is very long, and these cannot be discovered in a short period of time."

"And those developed countries basically don't eat genetically modified foods. They develop genetically modified food crop seeds, and then sell them to less developed countries for profit. Don't you think there is anything wrong with that?"

Young Master Lu's eyes widened: "Is there really a problem with genetically modified food?!"

"I don't know." Feng Yu shook his head, "But since its safety cannot be confirmed,

Then just treat it as insecure. If it can be avoided, I think it is better to avoid it as much as possible. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it is a big problem. "

"Although it is said that the yield of non-GMO is low and the oil yield is low, but it is safe to eat. As for how to explain this to the people, it is not too difficult."

Young Master Lu was curious. They had been thinking about this matter for so long but they hadn't thought of a good solution. Feng Yu thought of it all of a sudden? Even if Feng Yu is a genius, he is not so wicked, right?

"Young Master Lu must know that soybean oil is produced in two ways: pressing and leaching, right? Many people have doubts about the chemical leaching method, thinking that there are residues that will damage the body, so after a period of time, the state stipulates that pressing oil and leaching oil, They must be clearly marked on the bottle, this suggestion was made by me.”

At the beginning, Taihua Selected Oil was sold from Northeast China to South Guangdong. Later, it was merged into Beidacang, and this brand was exported to many countries.

"You mean, mark on the bottle whether it is genetically modified oil, and then leave it to the people to choose for themselves?"

Feng Yu nodded: "That's right, according to the existing technical research data, it will be announced to the general public. Let them know the difference between genetically modified and non-genetically modified. If you really don't have money, you can eat genetically modified soybean oil. At least it’s better than not being able to eat oil, right?”

"My suggestion is that we should also ban the cultivation and promotion of genetically modified foods. It must be strictly prohibited to prevent some people from intentionally adulterating for money."

"As for genetically modified food, we can import it from abroad. Even if it is imported to us, it is still cheaper than non-genetically modified food, after all, the yield is much higher."

"There is no need to hide some things. Tell the people directly that people in developed countries don't eat genetically modified foods, but there is no proof that eating them will definitely cause harm to their bodies. It is better for them to choose for themselves than for us to help them choose."

Lu Shao interrupted Feng Yu: "Wait, isn't that right? You said just now that the people can choose for themselves. Why did you ask me to ban the cultivation and promotion of genetically modified foods? Isn't this our choice?"

Feng Yu asked back with a smile: "Then do you think it shouldn't be banned? Although this will increase the price of cooking oil, will it really have such a big impact on the lives of the people?"

"If the future proves that this is really harmful, you will feel sorry for it? Even if it proves that this is not harmful, how much loss will it cause us?"

Huaxia is much richer than it was at this time in the previous life. This time the financial crisis did not affect Huaxia too much. Spending tens of dollars on soybean oil a month has little effect on most people, and many people still eat more expensive food. What about peanut oil?

Lu Shao gritted his teeth: "You're right, I want to report this matter to my superiors. This genetically modified food will not be grown in our country in the future!"
