GMO's. What are we in for.....

I don't want to paint myself as a Luddite, I am not in the "anti-science" camp. I believe in the use of properly vetted new inventions, However I have real concerns about the use of genetically modified organism's in everyday life.
It really seems like the business sector has pushed through a lot of legislation regarding the use of GMO's in everyday life. Did you know, that if you are shopping in an American supermarket if you purchase 10 processed food items your odds of
having at least 1 GMO is over 90%? (75% of all processed foods in the U.S. contain a GM ingredient).

The problem is testing, GMO's are allowed into the U.S. without significant testing thanks to the ruling that In the U.S., the FDA has said there is no significant difference. However GMO crops have cross pollinated with other, wild and domestic crops and since they are under patent farmers can be charged for growing these cross-pollinated crops!
Its up to the farmer to be sure the pollen doesn't reach his crops. Its Insane and to me the entire reasoning behind the patenting of a life-form is foul.


Genes ...all kinds of genes are "spliced" into target crops. Scientists have learned how to put human or animal genes into plants
and have also learned how to create "factory" plants that will produce certain substances. (Pharmaceuticals, Herbicides even hormones).

On the last note,Plants producing hormones. The human hormone testosterone has been hacked into citrus, The Navel orange now can provide anabolic steroids. What science has created is a new frankenfruit, the navel orange in its "lower" form....

the Penis orange.
