Profit, profit, profit is their game. GMO profiteers have not you, me, the planet, or the farmers in mind just profit - while they make believe they will not have to suffer any consequences. When - oops - there is a Europe or North American, or Asian crop meltdown because of their unforeseen effects - even they will not be able to buy their way out of the consequences for their families!
Genetically modified corn contaminates crops in seven German states
Despite a Europe-wide ban, genetically modified corn has contaminated crops in seven German states, according to research from the environmental organization Greenpeace.
The seeds were supplied by the firm Pioneer Hi-Bred, based in the town of Buxtehude outside Hamburg, in Lower Saxony. The state's agriculture ministry confirmed the research on Sunday.
According to Lower Saxony's environment ministry, the contaminated seeds, making up about 0.1 percent of the total seed supply, were sown over at least 3,000 hectares (7,400 acres) in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein.
