GMO: How these people are killing us softly, by Tunde Asaju

If you are home and lucky to eat what you grow, doxology.

Every day, I am mandated to eat at least two apples. That’s not to keep the doctor away, but to keep my waste moving. So, I usually keep the apples in my sling on #adidas bag (I didn’t buy it, so calm down).

On my drive to work, I was hungry and reached for my apple. The jeans I was wearing is new, so, I rubbed my apple on my jeans. This morning, this is what I found on my trouser – a yellow stain on the blue jeans.

That’s what goes into my stomach each time I eat an apple. I have also noticed that, even when I wash the apple with dish soap, it keeps glittering. These people are killing us softly.

I eat carrots, they are good for my sight. I noticed that whenever I buy ‘organic’ carrot, they last three days in the fridge. You see the ones from the stores ba, they last one year in the fridge (not freezer or, fridge).

I est salad. Organic salad lasts barely four days. You see the other ones from the grocery stores ehn, they can last a week or more.

Pity us in this abroad and fight to keep growing organic. My other experience is that once you grow a genetically modified fruit in your garden, forget about growing natural food on the same land – it wittles and dies if it sprouts at all.

This is why you should stop believing all your pastors telling you that Jesus heals (yes, He does) and focus on what you ingest. There is no way of staying healthy while eating GM food. This is why Mr Adesina, your former agric minister and now ADB CEO is NOT my hero. You can’t be a friend of Africa if you want to replace natural food with high yielding poison in a continent where God is the proposed healer.

Sorry, I am ranting again. You don’t have to like this.
