Ireland Allows Iconic Potato to be Genetically ModifiedAnthony Gucciardi Starting off with a trial within the nations borders, Irelands Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has authorized Teagasc to plant the GMO crops throughout a two hectare land plot. While supporters continue to assert that the relatively small size makes the process safe, experts from within the Emerald Isle say otherwise. In response to the idea that starting the trial with a small land plot is safe, The Organic Trust in Dublin explains that once you unleash genetically modified seeds into the environment, the consequences that may follow do not depend on how many acres of land is modified only the fact that genetically modified seeds have been planted. Spokesperson Gavin Lynch stated: The above question is a valid one to ask, and one for which the answer may hide in previously leaked documents dating as far back as 2007. Stapleton even goes on to specifically state that many European nations are culprits of such anti-GMO activity and should therefore be hit with such target retaliation. In other words, it is becoming more and more apparent that political incentives and even political threats appear to play a much greater role in the establishment of genetically modified crops and subsequent trials than public opinion. And until the public utilizes serious political activism and peacefully demands change from their representatives on a major scale, such political corruption will continue to ultimately influence decisions that affect your daily life.
