British Government Squanders Millions Conducting Secret GM Potato Trials While non-GM Variety Already Performs Spectacularly

According to Indymedia UK, Sainsbury Laboratory, the group tasked with development, has already spent roughly 1.7 million pounds ($2.7 million) worth of public funds to develop the GM potato, despite the fact that a natural blight-resistant variety has already been successfully bred and in use for the past three years.’
