‘台湾已经禁止基改食品在中小学午餐之中了，美国什么时候才可以开始这样做来保护我
们的孩子们？’
台湾政府近期规划了一个与食安/基改相关的政策，而我们可以看出来我们在食品安全上
远远落后其他国家。
12月时，台湾立法通过校园健康政策，将开始禁止全国从小学到高中的营养午餐或是福利
社内不可含有任何基改原料或是含有基因改造原料的再制品出现。
这个禁止基改食物的法令会在新的学期开始（应该是指2017/02月这个学期），而每人每
餐会因此多负担4.5元台币的成本－对孩童的健康来说这是个很小的数字。
大豆与其制品是台湾的主要食材，而且也广泛的使用在校园之中。事实上，这个国家每年
消费2.8亿升的大豆，其中的9成是来自美国的基改大豆。
民进党过去就曾经开出支票会通过这个法案，立委林淑芬指出因为其中的残余有毒杀虫剂
会负面的影响到年轻学童的身里与心理健康。
台湾教育部长吴思桦则更进一步的鼓励学校多多开启食农教育─生产与培育在地食材。
‘台湾对于基改作物有着怀疑看法’
台湾长期以来很关注基改食品会对他的人民造成的危害。两年前，台湾通过了食物法规来
掌控基改食物的销售，这个法规造成超过0.3成的GMO食品接受到警告．同时非基改食品可
以获得一个非基改标章。非基改大豆在2015单年内成长了3倍。
同时，基改成分必须要在台湾政府注册，而食品公司必须要建立一个追踪系统来追查来源
。他们也制定了违反食品安全规定的严格罚款，罚金大约相等于4.5亿台币（150万镁），
使它成为一种真正的威慑，而不是口头服务。
（以下我直接用谷哥了啦!!）
‘美国的法令限制相较于其他已开发国家过于宽松。’
在美国，合法允许的草甘膦残留物的最大水平为30ppm。这数字是台湾的300倍。事实上，
它高于许多发达国家。日本和欧盟设定了20 ppm的限制，加拿大的限制是15 ppm，澳大利
亚只允许0.1 ppm。为什么我们的国家愿意看另一种方式，因为这些公司继续毒害我们的
人口？行业对监管机构的影响是这种宽松方法的一个重要因素。不幸的是，美国食药署
FDA也不愿意对人工添加剂和重金属采取行动。我们的食物中允许的许多防腐剂与添加剂
已被欧盟禁止。我们的孩子和我们整个国家应该值得比这更好的生活才对。
美国何时会加入和与其他国家一起打击转基因生物？我们的记录直到现在是相当可耻。孟
山都对政府的影响是深远的，几乎没有任何政治家愿意记录在案，并指出转基因生物正在
把人的健康危险。
当唐纳德·川普上任后，我们可以比以往任何时候都更进一步在这方面取得真正的进展
，因为他不太可能被孟山都买下。他已经宣布了接受大型制药公司的计划，并瞄准疫苗，
只能希望转基因生物也在他的待办事项列表上。
在此之前，父母必须继续警惕学校为子女服务的午餐的来源和内容。对于许多人来说，这
意味着要安排自己的午餐，这是确保孩子们吃不仅不含基改食品，而且吃的健康营养食物
的最好方法。

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

: （内文有林淑芬跟吴思华）
: 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.
