GMO Rice Now Engineered with Human Genes

As if the news in the agriculture community couldn't get any more disturbing. GMO crops already allow the plant to soak up large amounts of toxins, like Monsanto's Roundup, without killing the plant. I probably don't need to tell you what happens if the plant soaks up these dangerous chemicals and you wind up eating them what it could be doing to your body. (Think cancer here.)

Well, we have a report from the Liberty Beacon that human genes are now be genitally engineered into rice crops in Kansas.


Unless the rice you buy is certified organic, or comes specifically from a farm that tests its rice crops for genetically modified (GM) traits, you could be eating rice tainted with actual human genes. The only known GMO with inbred human traits in cultivation today, a GM rice product made by biotechnology company Ventria Bioscience is currently being grown on 3,200 acres in Junction City, Kansas — and possibly elsewhere — and most people have no idea about it.

Since about 2006,Ventria has been quietly cultivating rice that has been genetically modified (GM) with genes from the human liver for the purpose of taking the artificial proteins produced by this “Frankenrice” and using them in pharmaceuticals. With approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),Ventria has taken one of the most widely cultivated grain crops in the world today, and essentially turned it into a catalyst for producing new drugs.
