General Mills Gets a Taste of the Backlash After it Spent Over $1.1 Million to Defeat GMO Labeling Initiative

Is The Fast Growing AquAdvantage Salmon Safe To Eat?
AquaBounty's engineered salmon reaches full size in 18 months instead of three years, and the company told the FDA that 95 to 99 percent are sterile. On the 15 million eggs it plans to grow, even 1 to 5 percent fertile would mean 750,000 fish, and the piece questions the containment plan.

A study by Charles Benbrook in Environmental Sciences Europe found genetically engineered crops added 404 million pounds to U.S. pesticide use between 1996 and 2011, about 7 percent, as glyphosate-resistant weeds spread. More than two dozen weed species now resist glyphosate.
