25. there was an article posted (from cbsnews.com) the other day about what happened to a GMO pasture

The pasture was planted 15 years ago. Apparently recent weather extremes caused some changes to the grass that caused it to emit cyanide gas one day. The farmer turned his 15 cows onto the pasture and went off to do chores, but came running back when he heard bellowing from the pasture. He found the cows that were still alive in convulsions. He lost 12 of the 15 cows.

I'll go look for the article. It was front page last Sunday (I saw it at work).

I have already seen articles on studies that were done on GMO produce (BP corn? I forget which food) that showed significantly higher levels of kidney disease in women and significantly higher levels of liver disease in men (or vice versa, this was a couple years ago). The company involved incorrectly merged the studies into one large group, bringing the disease numbers down to more acceptable levels, and the USDA accepted the now flawed and incorrect results.
