Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Corn Fields

[Governor Scott]

Hungary has taken a bold stand against biotech giant Monsanto and genetic modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds, according to Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar. Unlike many European Union countries, Hungary is a nation where genetically modified (GM) seeds are banned. In a similar stance against GM ingredients, Peru has also passed a 10 year ban on GM foods.

Almost 1000 acres of maize found to have been ground with genetically modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary, deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar said. The GMO maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not spread from the maize, he added.

and you people are worried about anti-vaccine conspiritards.  The anti-GM are costing lives (not that this particular case will cost lives, but similar bans in Africa certainly do).

The funny thing is that unscientific views on GM foods are far far more harmful than the young earth creationism that I keep hearing about.

Considering that children (and sometimes adults) can and do die of the diseases that they could have been vaccinated against, those people are dangerous too.

Which doesn't make young earth creationism any more scientific or any more constitutional to teach in public schools. Anything useful to add?

Perhaps, but certainly GM is more pressing.  Besides, this shows the utter hypocrisy of the far-left when they claim to hold the mantle on scientific progress.  They don't.
