Yes, grow your own from heirloom seeds.

With all the respect, but it reminds me of this statement: "After me the flood," of Madam de Pompadour to Ludovic the 15th in France!!!!!
What about our children? What if your heirloms that you have them stashed into your fridge become contaminated... c'mon, we have to see beyond our little self interest.

What a mixed up mess this so called study was. The article admits that half of the rats died, both those fed GMO and those fed non-GMO potatoes. Also, rats that were fed non-GM potatoes had stomach and intestinal problems, just as those fed GMO potatoes, but at a lesser rate. I would conclude that potatoes of any sort are bad for rats. If only the rats that ate the GMO potatoes died or that only thos that ate the GMO potatoes had stomach disorders, then I think it would bear further investigation. But this mish mash of data doesn't prove anything, beyond a couple groups that admittidly hav a bias against GMO anything. If the study had shown the GMO potatoes had a lessor amount of stomach disorders, I'm sure these groups would have thrown out the study as its data is flawed.

I'm sorry, but I just answered the question asked.

That's what I noticed. I can't believe they released that to the public as "evidence".

Somebody needs to do the study over and do it RIGHT.
