One part food, one part news of the weird, one part entertainment. I wasn't sure were to put this lol.Rat reality show: Russian scientists to broadcast GMO experiment — RT

After a French study suggested that rats fed on Monsanto GMO corn suffered tumors, Russian researches plan their own, this time public, experiment. The unique reality show with rats is expected to prove or deny GMO’s health-threatening influence.The Russian scientists, who oppose genetically modified organisms (GMO) in food, expect that their year-long experiment will show whether the controversial cultivation process has effects as dangerous as French revelations claimed on September 19.

Scientists from France's University of Caen made public the results of their classified study, publishing the images of rats with tumors after they were fed a diet of genetically modified (GM) maize produced by American chemical giant Monsanto.

The revelation stirred fear across Europe and in Russia, where authorities temporarily suspended the import and sale of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It will be interesting to see the results. I for one am leery of GMO's without extensive testing by independent parties prior to human consumption and personally feel that the US food supply may not be nearly as safe as it is portrayed. I hope I am wrong..[/FONT]
 
ı am against gmo too
 
The only issue with all this, as far as I understand (I had a girlfriend who kept many rats as pets) that Tumors are extremely common among rats anyway.

She owned 4 or 5 rats over the course of several years all of which died of tumors.
 
Still a better reality TV show than the jersey shore.
