And the GMO controversy gets even thicker. For instance, if your neighbor bought seeds from a certain company, and his field cross-pollinated with your crop, you are now an intellectual property thief, and that company can now sue you. That’s why there are secret seed police running all over America, looking for potential criminals.
Anyone can be a criminal. Anyone. In short, it is not only impossible to verify that genetically modified crops perform as advertised, but it is also impossible to actually know how they affect the person or animal eating them.
Couple that with a plant's natural tendency to spread and propagate, as nature intended, and we just might be unleashing a beast that could wreak havoc on the food chain.
