Cannot See the Forest through the GMO Trees

• After many questions on "what's next?" during the 1960s-70s, scientists started to add GMOs to trees.
• According to the documentary "Silent Forest," GMOs are the greatest threat to forests since the chainsaw.
• GMO trees are genetically designed to create their own pesticide, so if you eat fruits or nuts from one of those trees, you may have your own pesticides mingling in your gut and messing with those friendly bacteria permanently.
• But Rod Harbinson, a GEFF (GE Free Forest) spokesperson said in 1999,"The science is moving so fast they are not considering the effect on the environment. ... There has already been a case with GM aspens in Germany flowering [enabling pollination of other trees]when they were supposed not to be able to. We are alarmed that these trees will pollute the environment." (emphasis added)

Reflection

When I read this article, I realized that it was very biased. The author did not bring up the positive side of GMOs. Unfortunately, the author also attacks the scientists that are in favor of Genetically Modified Organisms. If the author was not as biased, then I could have enjoyed this article more. Regardless, I still enjoyed this article.
