『台灣已經禁止基改食品在中小學午餐之中了，美國什麼時候才可以開始這樣做來保護我
們的孩子們？』
台灣政府近期規劃了一個與食安/基改相關的政策，而我們可以看出來我們在食品安全上
遠遠落後其他國家。
12月時，台灣立法通過校園健康政策，將開始禁止全國從小學到高中的營養午餐或是福利
社內不可含有任何基改原料或是含有基因改造原料的再製品出現。
這個禁止基改食物的法令會在新的學期開始（應該是指2017/02月這個學期），而每人每
餐會因此多負擔4.5元台幣的成本－對孩童的健康來說這是個很小的數字。
大豆與其製品是台灣的主要食材，而且也廣泛的使用在校園之中。事實上，這個國家每年
消費2.8億升的大豆，其中的9成是來自美國的基改大豆。
民進黨過去就曾經開出支票會通過這個法案，立委林淑芬指出因為其中的殘餘有毒殺蟲劑
會負面的影響到年輕學童的身裡與心理健康。
台灣教育部長吳思樺則更進一步的鼓勵學校多多開啟食農教育─生產與培育在地食材。
『台灣對於基改作物有著懷疑看法』
台灣長期以來很關注基改食品會對他的人民造成的危害。兩年前，台灣通過了食物法規來
掌控基改食物的銷售，這個法規造成超過0.3成的GMO食品接受到警告．同時非基改食品可
以獲得一個非基改標章。非基改大豆在2015單年內成長了3倍。
同時，基改成分必須要在台灣政府註冊，而食品公司必須要建立一個追蹤系統來追查來源
。他們也制定了違反食品安全規定的嚴格罰款，罰金大約相等於4.5億台幣（150萬鎂），
使它成為一種真正的威懾，而不是口頭服務。
（以下我直接用谷哥了啦!!）
『美國的法令限制相較於其他已開發國家過於寬鬆。』
在美國，合法允許的草甘膦殘留物的最大水平為30ppm。這數字是台灣的300倍。事實上，
它高於許多發達國家。日本和歐盟設定了20 ppm的限制，加拿大的限制是15 ppm，澳大利
亞只允許0.1 ppm。為什麼我們的國家願意看另一種方式，因為這些公司繼續毒害我們的
人口？行業對監管機構的影響是這種寬鬆方法的一個重要因素。不幸的是，美國食藥署
FDA也不願意對人工添加劑和重金屬採取行動。我們的食物中允許的許多防腐劑與添加劑
已被歐盟禁止。我們的孩子和我們整個國家應該值得比這更好的生活才對。
美國何時會加入和與其他國家一起打擊轉基因生物？我們的記錄直到現在是相當可恥。孟
山都對政府的影響是深遠的，幾乎沒有任何政治家願意記錄在案，並指出轉基因生物正在
把人的健康危險。
當唐納德·川普上任後，我們可以比以往任何時候都更進一步在這方面取得真正的進展
，因為他不太可能被孟山都買下。他已經宣布了接受大型製藥公司的計劃，並瞄準疫苗，
只能希望轉基因生物也在他的待辦事項列表上。
在此之前，父母必須繼續警惕學校為子女服務的午餐的來源和內容。對於許多人來說，這
意味著要安排自己的午餐，這是確保孩子們吃不僅不含基改食品，而且吃的健康營養食物
的最好方法。

: Taiwan has banned GMOs in school lunches; when will America protect its

: （內文有林淑芬跟吳思華）
: NaturalNews) A recent move by the Taiwanese government serves to illustrate
: just how far behind the rest of the world we are when it comes to the issues
: of food safety and GMOs.
: In December, lawmakers in Taiwan passed an amendment to the School Health Act
: that effectively prohibits both raw GM ingredients and processed foods that
: contain GMOs. It will apply to the food stands and cafeterias in every type
: of school throughout the country, from elementary schools all the way up
: through high school. (RELATED: Read more news about GMOs at GMO.news)
: The ban on GMOs will begin as early as next semester, and it will cost just
: 15 cents (USD) per meal more than the current offerings – a small price to
: pay for the health of a child.
: In the Taiwanese diet, soy is a major ingredient, and it is widely featured
: in school lunches there. In fact, Agri-View reports that the country consumes
: in excess of 8 million bushels of soybeans, 7.2 million of which are GMO
: soybeans coming from the United States.
: The Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party advocated for the bill’s passage.
: The group’s Lin Shu-fen pointed out that due to their toxic pesticide
: residue, these crops are unsuitable for feeding young children because it
: will negatively impact their psychological and physical health.
: The country’s minister of education, Wu Se-hwa, takes this sentiment one
: step further, encouraging schools to place an emphasis on using produce and
: ingredients that are grown locally.
: Taiwan takes a dim view of GMOs
: Taiwan has long been proactive in protecting its population from the dangers
: of GMOs. Two years ago, they passed the Food Act Amendments that control the
: sale of bioengineered food products. This requires that all foods with more
: than 3 percent GMOs bear a label warning of their GMO content. Meanwhile,
: foods without GMOs can don a GMO-free label. Those that have already begun
: promoting their GMO-free status have noted skyrocketing sales. Non-GMO
: soybean imports in the country grew by 300 percent in 2015 alone.
: In addition, GMO ingredients must be registered with the Taiwanese
: government, and food companies that use such foods must set up a tracking
: system to trace their origins. Strict fines were put in place for violating
: the food safety provisions; the fine is roughly equal to $1.5 million, making
: it a true deterrent rather than mere lip service.
: U.S. legal limits much more relaxed than other developed nations
: In the U.S., the maximum level of glyphosate residue that is legally allowed
: is 30 ppm. This is 300 times higher than Taiwan’s limit. In fact, it’s
: higher than many developed countries. Japan and the EU have set a limit of 20
: ppm, Canada’s limit is 15 ppm and Australia only allows 0.1 ppm. Why is our
: nation willing to look the other way as these companies continue to poison
: our population? The industry’s influence on regulatory agencies is a huge
: factor in this lax approach. Unfortunately, the FDA is also unwilling to take
: action against artificial additives and heavy metals. Many of the
: preservatives permitted in our food have been banned by the EU. Our children
: and our entire nation deserve better than this.
: When will the U.S. get on board and join other nations in cracking down on
: GMOs? Our track record until now is pretty shameful. Monsanto’s influence on
: the government is far-reaching, and hardly any politicians have been willing
: to go on the record and state that GMOs are putting people’s health in
: danger.
: When Donald Trump takes office we could be closer than ever to making real
: progress on this front as he is unlikely to be bought off by Monsanto. He has
: already announced plans to take on Big Pharma and take aim at vaccines, and
: one can only hope that GMOs are also on his to-do list.
: Until then, parents must continue to be vigilant when it comes to the sources
: and contents of the lunches that schools are serving their children. For
: many, this means packing their own lunches, which is the best way to ensure
: kids are eating food that is not only GMO-free but also healthy and
: nutritious.
