Default German GM wheat trials approved but site sabotaged


wrote in message
...

What is the difference between this GM wheat and conventional wheat? What

do
the added genes do?


For RR wheat, it means that Roundup can be sprayed on the wheat. This
means that there will be more glyphosate residue on the food/feed when
it is consumed.


exactly, spot on, 10 out of 10

so the first they they do is spray the crop with roundup, the organic wheat
dies, the RR wheat continues

and "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."

just managed to prove how ignorant they actually are

where to they find these people
