GM field trials, contamination events more than you'd think!

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is OT or not...

I didn't realize the extent of the GM problem until I came across this website a

few weeks ago: it shows the Genetically Modified Organisms that companies are

asking for permits to plant in field trials. It's not perfect - asking too

complicated a search seems to cause problems but you can certainly look at

permits for field trials issued by state - and there are a lot!

Notice that there are some for which permits have been issued that have 12 or

more traits altered, in just one plant!

And here's one that shows publicly documented contamination events of

Genetically Modified Organisms - where they escape and spread their DNA outside

of the planned area or illegal plantings that have been discovered:

They are forced to leave out a lot that are reported to them because they only

report ones that are in the public record.
