50%成了0.5%。來自北京的謠言(27)。
本文同時發至不良信息舉報中心、中紀委。
最近,11月以來吧,新華社和央視似乎開了個新風:他們開始向民眾說明轉基因食品有足夠危害風險的事實了。央視的海外機構譬如在美國開辦的中文電視臺,也以“今日亞洲”的節目而向觀眾說明了轉基因食品有足夠危害風險的事實。與此同時,人民日報在做什么?來看看:
謠言散布記者:人民日報記者,馮華。
謠言散布媒體:人民日報,人民網。
謠言散布日期:2013年10月27日08:30。
謠言散布標題:美國人怎么看轉基因(記者親歷)。
該媒體的謠言:國際食品信息委員會國際關系副主任安迪?本森介紹說,根據他們委托專業民調機構進行的一項持續近20年、樣本數量1000人的調查,僅有2%的美國人認為“轉基因是一項食品安全問題”;表示“不吃轉基因”的美國人,占比不到0.5%。
事實:在歐美社會過日子的人,稍微關注轉基因食品問題,就該知道,那個國際食品信息委員會是孟山都公司資助搞的推銷宣傳機構,因它的謠言統計實在離譜,許多人已經把它當作笑料看待了。譬如,至今,美國搞轉基因食品作物商業化上市為17年,它那“持續20年”的調查、橫是還沒有轉基因食品上市、就有調查和結果了?哈。那機構調查統計是如此離譜,以至于孟山都公司今年夏天面臨全球慘敗而聯手杜邦等公司搞公關挽救局面、都不得不另起爐灶了。
事實:讓我們來看看美國官方和主要媒體發布的同類調查。
2003年,全球著名調查統計機構皮尤所做的抽樣調查說明,55%的美國居民表示他們認為轉基因食品是壞東西、是垃圾食品或有害食品;在法國,89%的居民認為轉基因食品對人類健康和環境是有害的;德國有81%、日本有76%、意大利有74%的居民對轉基因食品持有負面看法。
2012年,美國國家科學基金會轉發的抽樣調查說明,87%的美國居民認為轉基因食品應做標識、53%的美國居民表示他們不會購買轉基因食品。
美國著名媒體ABC-廣播網2012和2013年度新聞抽樣調查說明,93%的美國居民認為聯邦官方機構應該要求轉基因食品做出標識、57%的美國居民表示他們不會購買轉基因食品,這給美國的食品公司發出了十分清楚的信息:要想立足食品市場、最好就告別含有轉基因成分的食品。(美國紐約時報介紹,美國已經有400家食品公司明確地采取了拒絕出售含有轉基因成分的食品。)。
歐美著名機構在過去大約10年里的先后之抽樣調查統計說明得很清楚:50%以上的美國居民明白表示他們拒絕購買轉基因食品;而要求轉基因食品標識者則為80%或90%以上。在美國,轉基因食品標識意味著拋棄轉基因食品作物、尤其是拋棄轉基因食品作物商業化的“實質等同”之依據,即意味著整個推翻現行的轉基因食品作物商業化之政策(可以說,這比僅僅拒絕轉基因食品的“反轉”傾向是更強烈和更鮮明的);正因為如此,為既得利益,孟山都和杜邦等轉基因商業公司是想方設法和花費巨額資金、試圖扼殺美國各地的轉基因食品標識立法工作。
可是,那個50%以上的數據,在人民日報引用的笑料統計里、成了“不到0.5%”,縮小了百倍。如此弄虛作假、也忒離譜了,以至于轉基因商業公司孟山都公司都覺得難以忍受而不得不另起爐灶了,嘿嘿。

那些數據清楚說明,50%以上的美國居民明確表示他們不會購買轉基因食品。相關文字原文摘錄:
[1] 2003年的抽樣調查數據: Broad Opposition to Genetically Modified Foods。Released: June 20, 2003。
http://www.pewglobal.org/2003/06/20/broad-opposition-to-genetically-modified-foods/
:A survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, conducted in 2002 and released earlier this month, shows that Western Europeans and Japanese are overwhelmingly opposed to scientifically altered fruits and vegetables because of health and environmental concerns. Although opposition in the U.S. is less widespread, 55% of Americans also believe genetically modified foods are a bad thing.
Nearly nine-in-ten in France (89%) say it is bad to scientifically alter fruits and vegetables “because it could hurt human health and the environment.” Just 10% think genetically modified foods are good because they increase crop yields and help the environment. More than seven-in-ten in Germany (81%), Japan (76%) and Italy (74%) also take a negative view of scientifically altered produce.

:Although the introduction of GM crops has provoked much less public controversy in the United States than in Europe, U.S. public support for this application of biotechnology is limited.
According to a 2008 CBS/New York Times poll, 44% of Americans indicate they have heard nothing or “not much” about GM ingredients added to foods to make them taste better and last longer (CBS-NYT 2008). However, 87% believe that these foods should be labeled and 53% expect that it is “not very likely” or “not at all likely” that they would buy food that is labeled as such.

:With safety concerns widespread, Americans almost unanimously favor mandatory labels on genetically modified foods. And most say they'd use those labels to avoid the food.
Barely more than a third of the public believes that genetically modified foods are safe to eat. Instead 52 percent believe such foods are unsafe, and an additional 13 percent are unsure about them. That's broad doubt on the very basic issue of food safety.
Nearly everyone, moreover — 93% says the federal government should require labels on food saying whether it's been genetically modified, or "bio-engineered" (this poll used both phrases). Such near-unanimity in public opinion is rare.
57% also say they'd be less likely to buy foods labeled as genetically modified. That puts the food industry in a quandary: By meeting consumer demand for labeling, it would be steering business away from its genetically modified products.
