Anti-GMOers Spread Baseless Fear About Possibly Non Existent Monsanto Bananas. [View all]
Posted by Mark Lynas on his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Mark-Lynas-168122006568847/ :
"Just when you thought anti-GMO campaigners couldn't get any dumber, they come up with this gem - warning about the danger of GMO bananas in Hawaii. These 'Monsanto bananas' will apparently "cross-pollinate" with conventional ones, forcing farmers to pay Monsanto.

Note to the crazies: all bananas are sterile clones, and produce no pollen. Better come up with a new argument quick! (Actually I suspect the entire story is false - it's the first I've heard of Monsanto working on GMO bananas.)"
