Background
How would you like to eat fruits and vegetables bred practically from a science laboratory? Would you put them on the table and serve them to your loved ones?
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are animals, fruits and vegetables changed by genetic engineering. They have been subject of many intense debates here and abroad.
Are they really safe?
Consumer Rights for Safe Food (CRSF) founding president Grace Padilla-Chua is asking the government to practice caution. It should do actual studies on the effects of GMOs on the health of humans and animals before allowing GMOs into the country and into our food supply.
“Many countries have recognized the dangers of GMOs and have banned them. I hope our government does the same,” she says.
The brief was to create a material that would create awareness about the dangers of GMO.
Execution
The main objective is to clearly show the consumers the dark side of consuming Genetically Modified Foods (GMO). They used this entry as a poster/banner during their rallies and force congress to pass a stringent screening of imported GMO food items, specially corn and eggplant. CRSF also claims to increase the consumer's awareness about the danger of consuming GMOs through their Facebook site and encourage people to drop by their page.
