		<description>Yhea i find that pretty cool too.

Btw if you wanna dig on that for a future article about ogm, there were a broadcast on arte, about them, it was quite good.

First part was in india or china, in a region where something like 30% of cultivators using ogm  sucided and other ones where demonstrating on the market, because they had to make a loan to invest in the seeds. Then it happens that the plants are not protected against all pests, but only some of them, and the plants were hit as usual by these pests and they losed enought money so that they sucided.


Second part is in Brazil as i remember were they produce something like 200 kinds of &quot;mais&quot;, and their governement decided to stop importing ogm seeds,so foar so good.

But not plants themselves, it does happen than on road sides were mais destined to consumption can fall during transport, ogm mais grew nicely, it did breed with whatever mais was around, the issue is that the breed is not sane and shows all kinds of weirdo mutations.

There were a scientific studty after that which was happening in a lab , but i don&#039;t remember all the technical details, but basically ogm mais and natural mais are génétically stable , but the breed would be unstable.

So it s not like we need to prove than ogm mais is bad, it s already proven, first part prove that we gain basically nothing using ogms, second one shows than ogms are a danger for other cultures and that it can spread.</description>
