"Agribusiness is in a mad rush to take over the earth, and
seems willing to stop at nothing. Coming soon is cabbage with scorpion
poison engineered in every cell. Of course, they claim it’s safe and
will result in less pesticide use, but history and logic say otherwise.
Who will wake from the insane mating between Agribiz and GMOs?"
by Heidi Stevenson
"Get ready for genetically engineered cabbages that come complete with
their own scorpion poison, just for you to eat. It’s touted as
requiring less pesticide use and being, of course, completely safe.
Close investigation, though, indicates that neither claim is likely
true.
A pesticide made with scorpion poison genetically engineered into a
virus was first tested back in 1994. Interestingly, the scientists who
sprayed the test field wore full body suits to protect them from this
“harmless” poison. One must wonder at just how safe it could be when the
developers themselves don’t trust it more than that! Of course, the
head of the trial, Professor David Bishop, insisted that the trial was
safe—though he himself opted to take a vacation, rather than be there
for it." read
