German GM wheat trials approved but site sabotaged

HAMBURG - German authorities said this week they have approved an
application from Swiss agribusiness group Syngenta AG to start
Germany's first trials of genetically-modified (GM) wheat.

But on Tuesday some 25 Greenpeace activists sowed organic wheat seed
on the test site, aimed at ruining trials as it will be impossible to
tell the difference between GMO and conventional wheat, said
Greenpeace spokesman Henning Strodthoff.

I love it, if it is impossible to tell the difference between GMO and
conventional wheats, what is the risk posed by GMO when it is in the food
chain

sounds like Henning Strodthoff has benefited from a liberal arts education
