Genetically Engineered Foods

The McGillicuddy Serious Party is all in favour of genetically engineering our food stock on the grounds that it will further the collapse of the world economy.

The first so-called “Green Revolution” happened when the heavy usage of agricultural chemicals, and high-yield crops was thrust upon food-producing countries. The effect was a massive glut in certain foods, the worldwide collapse of many traditional systems of food production and small scale sustainable producers were put permanently out of business.

The advent of genetically-engineered foods, and the vigour with which they are being promoted, promises to do miles more of the same. There will be a further reduction in the value of food, and an increase in the value of, and reliance upon, industrial products. Food producing countries will get falling export returns, and faced with rising import costs, will fail loans, collapsing first their, and then the worlds economy.

Some parties think the collapse of the world economy is a bad thing. Not so the McGillicuddy Serious Party. We are all for it, and on these grounds we support the thorough and speedy introduction of Genetically Modified Organisms of all descriptions.(1)

Rest assured that we have already set aside sufficient “Heritage” seed stock for the entire country to begin again, after the GREAT LEAP BACKWARDS(c).
