GM food crop containing human genes

The laboratory-created rice produces some of the human proteins found in breast milk and saliva.
Its U.S. developers say they could be used to treat children with diarrhoea, a major killer in the Third World.
The rice is a major step in so-called Frankenstein Foods, the first mingling of human-origin genes and those from plants. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture has already signalled it plans to allow commercial cultivation.
The rices producers, California-based Ventria Bioscience, have been given preliminary approval to grow it on more than 3,000 acres in Kansas. The company plans to harvest the proteins and use them in drinks, desserts, yoghurts and muesli bars.

They had better be labeling its use, but I do not have high hopes

This motivates me to build even more garden space and save as many seeds as I can!

It was for these types of things that The Holy One confounded our languages, to slow down our "progress" if you can call it that.

Yes Ma'am!

I have to agree. :/ This is sad..."virtually no risk" to humans...wonder WHICH humans it is risking?

It is really time to start making sure we buy organic seed...and collect from one year to the next so we can grow our own food. It is getting crazy out there
