In a small portion of France’s coastal waters (between Vendée and Charente Maritime), it’s estimated that up to 10,000 dolphins are killed each winter after getting caught in fishing nets, according to Sea Shepherd Global — in comparison, Taiji, Japan’s infamous dolphin hunt, usually kills less than 1,000 dolphins.

GM ethanol-ready corn is perhaps the perfect GMO, at least within the realm of what readily can be sold given conventional subsidies. The only thing better would be a GMO which spontaneously combusts in the field prior to harvest. Indeed, this would be less costly to society, which is why it wouldn’t be as attractive to the GMO cult which is dedicated to being as destructive as possible.
 
Ethanol-ready GMOs represent an advance in the anti-food paradigm of corporate industrial agriculture. Corporate agriculture’s primary goal is to eradicate direct, efficient food production and replace it with highly costly, highly wasteful, highly inefficient commodity production designed to channel all proto-food production through CAFOs and processing in order to generate one calorie of eventual food product out of as…
