Thanks to America's corporate media most people in the US are not aware of the volume or types of genetically engineered food we eat. Thanks to a Corrupt Congress Americans are prohibited from labeling these "foods" and despite government claims of safety, no safety tests are done. An attorney for Monsanto created a legal loophole that classifies these as "substantially equivalent" but there is no relationship to science in the policy.
Thousands of open field tests of crops designed to grow industrial chemicals and drugs have been planted and very little has been done to track them. One rice variety planted by Bayer in 1999 was thought to have been a single trial but now it's being found in rice crops throughout the Carolinas and US East coast.
Law suits are being filed by farmers and other nations, who do test, regulate and cover the subject in their news, are banning these deadly varieties. No, you won't hear it in American news. Here you just swallow whatever the government chooses to feed you. Here's a bit of news about what's going on elsewhere though.
