Citing possible harm to Hawaii's 329 endangered and threatened species, a federal district judge has ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) violated the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in permitting the cultivation of drug-producing, genetically engineered crops throughout Hawaii. The court found that USDA acted in "utter disregard" of the ESA, and also violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), by failing to conduct even preliminary investigations prior to its approval of the plantings. The August 10 decision represents the first federal court ruling ever on "biopharming," the controversial practice of genetically altering food crops to produce experimental drugs and industrial compounds

That's wonderful! I am so excited. I am very against GM food and every time I bite into something I wonder if it is really what it says it is.

HW is a chain of islands. Go figure? It's isolated. What a perfect place to test your new crops that are sooooo not able to be in the general food chain. Now where will they try?
