Imagine if you owned a farm and 250 anti-genetically modified food protesters decided to randomly plant thousands of organic potatoes on your field. I know this would both disturb and upset me; especially if I was growing organic beans!

That’s exactly what happened when a large group of protestors wishing to sabatoge a GM potato field accidently got the wrong farm. You can actually visit the protesters website at Mutatoes.Org. Their motto is, “stop the spuds”. Thanks to them, someone won’t be getting their beans.

Potato mutation is far more serious than you might imagine. As you can see from this story, 250 protesters were unable to tell the difference between the potatoes they were planting and the beans growing on the field. These protesters are people fighting for a cause they believe in, they know their potatoes better than anyone. Do you want to live in a world where mutation has caused potatoes to look so much like beans even knowledgeable protesters would mix them up? I don’t think so!

If only the knowledgeable protesters had listened to the poor farmer who was saying he grew beans then maybe my lawn would be a bit less dug up. Maybe this whole random potato plantation fad would never have happened. What a sad day it will be when people resort to communicating their problems and discussing them rather than playing the role of pawns for organizations with hidden agendas.

Thank you mutatoes, I think I will donate right now! I can see it’s money well spent!
