There’s been quite a bit of coverage of GMOs lately. Mother Jones has been doing a great job. Some highlights:
- Hog farmers have noticed that feeding genetically-modified corn reduces hog growth.
- Organic farmers near land planted to GMO corn have lost their organic certification, since the wind-blown pollen from the corn contains synthetic nicotinoids, which are picked up by the soil tests.
- Beekeepers are not amused, since the nicotinoids in the pollen affect the bees’ nervous systems, and their ability to find their way back to the hives.
