Remember Agent Orange, the herbicide sprayed in Vietnam linked with devastating birth defects, cancer and Parkinson’s disease?
Dow AgroSciences would like to feed this
toxic chemical to the American population via a new breed of
genetically modified corn. If the corporation has its way, “Agent Orange
corn” will arrive on dinner plates across the U.S. as early as 2014.
Poisonous history of Agent Orange
Da Thi Kieu experienced the deadly
effects of Agent Orange first hand. During the Vietnam War, the U.S.
military sprayed her fields with the herbicide. Likewise, her husband
was exposed when he fought in the army and died an early death due to
cancers associated with the toxin. Of their eight children, seven were
born with birth defects and only two survived.
