Piece Description

What do GMO?s (genetically modified foods) have to do with Iraq?? Good Question! Greg Palast, investigative journalist and author of Armed Madhouse and The Best Democracy Money Can Buy gives us the answer. Greg Palast has uncovered how and why GMO manufacturer?s are dumping their unwanted grain and seed in Iraq. This will have long term negative effects on Iraq and its economy (they will no longer be able to export their grain to the EU ? their main market ? as the EU has banned GMO?s). The health effects of GMO?s are only now being adequately researched ? the initial results indicate GMO?s can cause kidney and liver damage. Britain?s Guardian says of Mr. Palast ?investigations up there with Woodward and Bernstein?and a lot funnier.? Greg Palast shares this important information with your listeners with wit and humor.

Review of Greg Palast - GMO's in Iraq!

This is a straight 29-minute interview over the phone with Greg Palast. It's hard to go wrong with Palast, as he always gives good interview, and interviewer Dr. Shamaan Eagle does a fine job of moving the interview along. The program suffers from very poor audio quality, though, both from the phone line and from the studio microphone. It's difficult to go too far off track with a good guest and a good topic, but an investment in ISDN lines would make this a more listenable half hour live interview, and some judicious editing would make it even better.
