The great GMO experiment that endangers the planet.
Genetically modified crops have been intentionally altered through genetic engineering—the elimination, alteration, or introduction of new genetic elements.
The global area given over to GM has doubled in the last 5 years.Unfortunately Unlike safety evaluations for drugs, there are no human clinical trials of GM foods.
The UK Government’s own research has found that GM farming would pollute the countryside for generations. The researchers (three separate studies conducted on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) found that pollen contamination would spread far further than previously thought and “feral” growth of weed killer -proof plants from just one crop would persist for years. They also feared that the heavy use of chemicals could completely wipe out some bird species.
