Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 On a secret farm in northeastern Colorado, an experimental genetically engineered pharmaceutical corn is being grown that can never be eaten and is so dangerous, no other crops can be grown within a mile radius. The plant is still in its development phase, but has such a high risk of reeking havoc on the environment, human health and the agricultural economy, it is being grown in an undisclosed location more than 3,000 miles away from the company who "invented" it. According to toxicologist Suzanne Wuerthele, "Producing pharmaceutical compounds in food crops is a really, really bad idea. The chance of it contaminating the food supply is great, and once that happens, it will destroy our export markets." http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/biopharm093003.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
