美國民眾“被欺騙、誤導(dǎo)無可奈何無法拒絕購買轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”，還是“知情前提下愿意購買轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”，有根本性不同，不可混為一談！
中國轉(zhuǎn)基因推手為轉(zhuǎn)基因食品辯護(hù)的一項(xiàng)重要“借口”是，“美國人購買食用轉(zhuǎn)基因食品，沒有拒絕購買不食用轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”，甚至搬出美國農(nóng)業(yè)部關(guān)于如是說作為依據(jù)。
不少人不一定知道，美國食品藥物管理署（FDA)不要求轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)，因此在美國所有轉(zhuǎn)基因食品生產(chǎn)商毫無例外不標(biāo)識(shí)“轉(zhuǎn)基因”。廠家為什么不標(biāo)識(shí)？他們深知這樣的標(biāo)識(shí)猶如“骷髏、有毒”標(biāo)識(shí)一樣，將導(dǎo)致絕大多數(shù)消費(fèi)者拒絕購買。
這種情況下，“美國人購買食用轉(zhuǎn)基因食品，沒有拒絕購買不食用轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”是假象，實(shí)質(zhì)是“被欺騙、誤導(dǎo)無可奈何無法拒絕購買轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”，與“知情前提下愿意購買轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”根本不同，不可混為一談！
更為無恥的是，中國轉(zhuǎn)基因推手將美國FDA不要求轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)，作為轉(zhuǎn)基因食品安全無害的“證據(jù)”。
這樣的“證據(jù)”，如同竭力推廣轉(zhuǎn)基因“黃金大米”的“黃金大米”人道主義委員會(huì)引用美國塔夫茨大學(xué)湯廣文、中國疾控中心蔭士安等人文章“黃金大米”論文的內(nèi)容作為證明“黃金大米”對(duì)兒童安全“證據(jù)”同樣荒唐：（論文稱)“在整個(gè)研究過程中，對(duì)于所有試驗(yàn)被試兒童，都未發(fā)現(xiàn)任何不良癥狀……在試驗(yàn)結(jié)束后對(duì)這些兒童進(jìn)行的長達(dá)一年的跟蹤調(diào)查，也未發(fā)現(xiàn)有任何不良癥狀”！

美國人平均每年消耗87.6公斤轉(zhuǎn)基因食品，超過平均體重，相當(dāng)每年消耗食品總量的24%！

“環(huán)境工作組”一項(xiàng)新的分析顯示，美國人每年食用的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品數(shù)量達(dá)到以至超過他們的體重。平均講，美國人12個(gè)月內(nèi)食用大約193磅（87.6公斤)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。典型的美國成年人體重179磅（81.3公斤)。
如果我們假定美國人平均每天消耗1公斤食品（主糧、副食、飲料合計(jì))的話，每年合計(jì)消耗365公斤食品，則193磅（87.6公斤)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品相當(dāng)于總量的24%！
“環(huán)境工作組”強(qiáng)調(diào)，193磅（87.6公斤)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是一項(xiàng)保守的估計(jì)，因?yàn)闆]有將所有種類轉(zhuǎn)基因食品全部考慮在內(nèi)。
在閱讀“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)的調(diào)查分析報(bào)告前，有必要首先觀察越來越多轉(zhuǎn)基因食品進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)近十多年來同期發(fā)生的以下11方面令人震驚狀況：

“環(huán)境工作組”簡(jiǎn)介
閱讀“環(huán)境工作組”2012年10月15日發(fā)布的《美國人每年吃的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品重量達(dá)到他們的體重》之前，有必要首先了解該團(tuán)體的工作。
http://www。ewg。org
The Environmental Working Group is perhaps best known for its groundbreaking and debate-changing farm subsidy database. With over 170 million searches since 2004, EWG’s farm subsidy database tracks recipients of 90 million government agriculture program checks and has shaken up the debate over continuing wasteful subsidies to big agribusinesses. “環(huán)境工作組”最為知名的是其突破性與辯論改變的“農(nóng)場(chǎng)補(bǔ)貼數(shù)據(jù)庫”。2004年以來進(jìn)行了1.7億多次搜尋，使“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)的“農(nóng)場(chǎng)補(bǔ)貼數(shù)據(jù)庫”跟蹤9000萬項(xiàng)政府農(nóng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目的受益者，檢查與動(dòng)搖了圍繞持續(xù)支付給大農(nóng)業(yè)生意的浪費(fèi)性補(bǔ)貼的辯論。
Due in part to revelations from the farm subsidy database, Congress voted to increase conservation payments to farmers by 80%, providing $13 billion over six years for programs to reduce water contamination and soil erosion, as well as to protect wildlife. 部分由于該農(nóng)場(chǎng)補(bǔ)貼數(shù)據(jù)庫揭露的情況，國會(huì)投票對(duì)于支付給農(nóng)民們用于自然環(huán)境保護(hù)的補(bǔ)貼增加了80%，對(duì)減少水污染與土壤浸蝕，以及保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物列支了六年期間130億美元預(yù)算。
Additionally, U.S. cotton subsidies were declared illegal by the World Trade Organization. The decision, involving billions of dollars, was based on data and analyses EWG provided for Brazil, who filed a landmark case citing the distortion of global prices and unfair restriction of developing nations’ access to the world market. 此外，世界貿(mào)易組織（WTO)宣布美國棉花補(bǔ)貼非法。該項(xiàng)決定，涉及數(shù)十億美元，基于“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)向巴西提供的數(shù)據(jù)及其分析，使巴西得以提交了一項(xiàng)里程碑式的訴訟，引證發(fā)展中國家進(jìn)入世界市場(chǎng)受到被扭曲的全球價(jià)格與非公平限制。
EWG was also instrumental in winning passage of America’s first federal law protecting children from toxic pesticides. Five dangerous pesticides were taken off the market and hundreds of uses restricted. 在贏得美國頭一項(xiàng)保護(hù)兒童免受有毒農(nóng)藥危害的聯(lián)邦法律中，“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)發(fā)揮了重要推動(dòng)作用。作為該聯(lián)邦法律的結(jié)果，五種危險(xiǎn)的農(nóng)藥被迫退出市場(chǎng)，數(shù)百種農(nóng)藥的使用受到限制。
EWG’s agriculture work has also had an impact by highlighting the unintended environmental consequences of America’s rush into corn ethanol and the growth of ocean Dead Zones from agriculture run-off into the Mississippi River Basin and the Chesapeake Bay. “環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)農(nóng)業(yè)領(lǐng)域的工作也產(chǎn)生了影響，他們引起公眾對(duì)于非故意環(huán)境性后果的高度關(guān)注，例如美國匆忙發(fā)展玉米乙醇的惡果，以及密西西比河流域與切薩皮克灣區(qū)域嚴(yán)重農(nóng)業(yè)污染擴(kuò)大了海洋生態(tài)死亡區(qū)的惡果。 |
Americans Eat Their Weight in Genetically Engineered Food

雷尼·夏普發(fā)表于《食品、健康》，2012年10月15日
Americans are eating their weight and more in genetically engineered food every year, a new Environmental Working Group analysis shows. On average, people eat an estimated 193 pounds of genetically engineered food in a 12-month period. The typical American adult weighs 179 pounds.
“環(huán)境工作組”一項(xiàng)新的分析顯示，美國人每年食用的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品數(shù)量達(dá)到以至超過他們的體重。平均講，美國人12個(gè)月內(nèi)食用大約193磅（87.6公斤)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。典型的美國成年人體重179磅（81.3公斤)。
These figures raise a question: If you were planning on eating your body weight of anything in a year, wouldn’t you want to make sure it was safe to eat?
這些數(shù)字提出了一個(gè)問題：如果你對(duì)你每年吃的重達(dá)你體重的食品做計(jì)劃的話，你難道不要確保你吃的東西食用安全嗎？
Shockingly, virtually no long-term health studies have been done on consumption of genetically engineered food.
令人震驚的是，到目前為止對(duì)于食用轉(zhuǎn)基因食品實(shí)際上沒有進(jìn)行任何長期健康影響的研究。
And there aren’t likely to be any such studies anytime soon. The government isn’t doing this kind of research and is not requiring it of the food industry. It isn’t even making it possible for independent scientists to do it, since under the law, those who hold patents on genetically engineered food get to decide in most cases what testing can – and cannot – be conducted.
而且，從目前來看，近期依然還沒有任何這樣的研究。政府沒有打算進(jìn)行這種類型的研究，也沒有要求食品工業(yè)進(jìn)行這樣的研究。政府甚至使獨(dú)立科學(xué)家們無法進(jìn)行這樣的研究，因?yàn)橐罁?jù)現(xiàn)行法律，只有哪些擁有轉(zhuǎn)基因食品專利的公司在大部分情況下才有權(quán)決定可以進(jìn)行 – 以及不允許進(jìn)行 -- 什么樣的試驗(yàn)。
As a result, the jury is still out – in fact, it hasn’t even heard the evidence – on whether genetically engineered food might cause health problems. And the answer to this question will likely remain unclear for years.
作為結(jié)果，陪審團(tuán)也仍然是個(gè)問題 – 事實(shí)上，他們從來沒有聽到過證據(jù) – 關(guān)于轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是否可能造成健康問題。因而對(duì)于這個(gè)問題的答案看來將繼續(xù)不清楚一些年。
So what can consumers do in the meantime? Not much – unless they demand that genetically engineered food be labeled. At least then consumers would know whether the food they buy contains genetically engineered ingredients, and could decide for themselves if this is what they want for themselves and their families.
在此期間消費(fèi)者可以做什么？做不了很多 – 除非他們要求轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)。轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)后，消費(fèi)者至少將知道他們購買的食品是否含轉(zhuǎn)基因成分，并且對(duì)他們要給自己及其家人購買什么自己做出決定。
This basic right-to-know issue is only going to become more important in the future, because consumption of genetically engineered food is expected to grow substantially.
這個(gè)基本知情權(quán)問題未來將成為越來越重要，因?yàn)檗D(zhuǎn)基因食品消耗期望繼續(xù)極大增長。
193 pounds of genetically engineered food is an underestimate
每年平均食用193磅（87.6公斤)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品還是一項(xiàng)低估的數(shù)字
To calculate how much genetically engineered food people eat each year, EWG researchers started with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2011 data on per capita consumption of four foods commonly derived from genetically engineered crops: sugar, corn-based sweeteners, salad oil and “corn products.”
為了計(jì)算美國人每年吃多少轉(zhuǎn)基因食品，“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)的研究者從美國農(nóng)業(yè)部2001年度數(shù)據(jù)平均每人每年消耗的轉(zhuǎn)基因作物加工的四種最為普遍的食品開始：糖、玉米加工的甜味劑、沙拉油與“玉米產(chǎn)品”。
We estimated how much of each of these foods were likely to be genetically modified. We compared the consumption figures with the latest USDA data showing that 95 percent of the sugar beets, 93 percent of the soybeans and 88 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. are genetically engineered. We also applied federal data showing that 79 percent of the salad oil consumed in the U.S. is soybean oil, and 55 percent of the sugar comes from sugar beets.
我們估計(jì)了其中每一種食品中看來是轉(zhuǎn)基因的量。我們比較了最近的美國農(nóng)業(yè)部消耗量數(shù)據(jù)，顯示在美國種植的95%的甜菜、93%的大豆與88%的玉米為轉(zhuǎn)基因。我們同時(shí)應(yīng)用了聯(lián)邦數(shù)據(jù)，顯示在美國消耗的沙拉油的79%是大豆油，而且55%的糖來自甜菜。
From these figures, EWG calculated that the average American annually consumes genetically engineered foods in these quantities: 68 pounds of beet sugar, 58 pounds of corn syrup, 38 pounds of soybean oil and 29 pounds of corn-based products, for a total of 193 pounds.
從這些數(shù)字，“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)計(jì)算出平均每個(gè)美國人消耗的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的數(shù)量：甜菜糖68磅（30.9公斤)、玉米糖漿58磅（26.3公斤)、大豆油38磅（17.3公斤)以及玉米加工食品29磅（13.2公斤)，合計(jì)193磅（87.6公斤)。
That’s a lot, but it’s likely to be an underestimate, since it does not account for all the genetically engineered foods that people eat. Other foods that commonly come in genetically engineered versions – but are not included in EWG’s calculations – are canola oil, cottonseed oil, papaya, yellow squash and soy products other than soybean oil. (EWG also excluded genetically engineered animal feed that people may consume indirectly by eating meat raised on genetically engineered crops.)
這數(shù)量很大，但是看來是一個(gè)被低估的數(shù)字，因?yàn)檫@并沒有包括人民吃的所有轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。還有一些食品通常來自轉(zhuǎn)基因品種 – 但是沒有包括在“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)的計(jì)算中 – 為菜籽油、棉籽油、番木瓜、黃色南瓜與轉(zhuǎn)基因大豆油以外的轉(zhuǎn)基因成分食品。（“環(huán)境工作組”也沒有包括人們通過食用喂食轉(zhuǎn)基因成分飼料的動(dòng)物的肉間接消耗的轉(zhuǎn)基因作物。)
As more genetically engineered crops are approved and grown commercially, the average amount of genetically engineered food consumed would be expected to spike far above 193 pounds a year.
隨著更多轉(zhuǎn)基因作物得到批準(zhǔn)并商業(yè)化種植，每個(gè)人平均消耗的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的量可期望將遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過每年193磅（87.6公斤)的量。
EWG considered only three genetically engineered crops, but more than 30 others are currently being tested in field trials, including apples, barley, bell peppers, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cherries, chili peppers, coffee, cranberries, cucumber, flax, grapefruit, kiwi, lentils, lettuce, melons, mustard, oats, olives, onions, peanuts, pears, peas, persimmons, pineapple, popcorn, radishes, strawberries, sugar cane, sunflower, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, walnuts and watercress.
“環(huán)境工作組”（EWG)僅考慮了三種轉(zhuǎn)基因作物，但是還有30多種轉(zhuǎn)基因作物正在試驗(yàn)田中進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)，包括蘋果、大麥、柿子椒、洋白菜、胡蘿卜、菜花、櫻桃、辣椒、咖啡、越橘、黃瓜、亞麻、柚子、獼猴桃、小扁豆、生菜、甜瓜、芥末、燕麥、橄欖、洋蔥、花生、桃子、豌豆、柿子、菠蘿、爆米花、小蘿卜、草莓、甘蔗、葵花、甜薯、番茄、胡桃與西洋菜。
While it is unclear how long it may take for these new genetically engineered crops to reach the market, this long list makes it likely that people could be eating two or three times their weight in GE food annually within the next decade.
盡管不清楚這些新的轉(zhuǎn)基因作物還有多長時(shí)間進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)，但是這個(gè)長長的清單意味著人們下十年每年食用的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的量可能達(dá)到他們體重的兩倍以至三倍。
Children, Hispanics likely eating more genetically engineered food
孩子以及西班牙裔民眾可能吃的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的量更多
Some people are likely already eating more than their share of genetically engineered food. Hispanic Americans, for example, who typically eat between 2-to-3 times more corn flour than people of other ethnicities, would be expected to get an extra dose of genetically engineered food in their diet.
某些人看來吃的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的量可能多于人均消耗量。例如，西班牙裔美國人，他們通常食用的玉米粉的量通常比其他種族多2到3倍，可以預(yù)計(jì)在他們飲食中包括更大比例的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。
Similarly, data show that children eat more corn flour and sweeteners per pound of body weight than adults. Given how much of these ingredients tend to be derived from genetically engineered sources, kids are likely ingesting more genetically engineered food.
與此類似，數(shù)據(jù)表明，按照自身體重比例，孩子們比成年人食用更多的玉米粉與甜味劑�？紤]到這些成分中多少來自轉(zhuǎn)基因作物，孩子們看來正在消耗更大比例的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。
Taking a stand for their right to know should be reason enough for people to vote for labeling of genetically engineered foods. Here’s another good reason: Americans are eating their body weight in genetically engineered food every year – and have little idea where it’s coming from. That’s certainly something to chew on.
人們的知情權(quán)是人們投票支持轉(zhuǎn)基因食品強(qiáng)制標(biāo)識(shí)的足夠理由。這里提供了另外一項(xiàng)好理由：美國人每年吃的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品量已經(jīng)達(dá)到他們的體重 – 而且極少了解來自哪些食品。這肯定是應(yīng)當(dāng)認(rèn)真考慮的事。
