Still vegetables. The beet pulp is fed to livestock, which humans eat.
Our Genes have these bastard genes attached to them now. We have all been changed and damaged by greed, and sorcery.
Really, so if I eat bacon my genome will add pig genes? Well I don't eat bacon, but do eat a lot of fish...I guess that is why I'm growing gills and fins huh?
The High Council of Biotechnology, an independent state panel which advises the French government, said in a statement Monday that the study is unable to prove a causation link between the increased rate of tumors and feeding with the corn because of flaws in method.

European food safety authorities have rejected the findings of a recently published study that linked Monsanto Co.'s genetically engineered corn with tumors and premature deaths in lab rats.
The European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA, said Thursday that the study, conducted by a French research team and released last month, was not scientifically sound or “valid for risk assessment.” EU rejects research linking Monsanto corn to tumors : Stltoday

The French government said Monday that it had no reason to challenge Monsanto Co.'s license to sell a genetically modified corn in the European Union after the country's food-safety agency ruled that a study linking the crop to cancers in rats was flawed and inconclusive.

To reject studies but not make any attempt to disprove them, is totally meaningless. Just because they say they have no merit, does not mean they don't. Have they attempted to replicate the results? No.
If people are still in the dark as to the dangers of GMO, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones, to watch a documentary. This one is 86 minutes and covers most every aspect of genetically engineered crops and animals. We are fortunate to have this available for free.
It's becoming clear that we can grow all the food we need, and profitably, with far fewer chemicals. Conventional agriculture can shed much of its chemical use - if it wants to. What may be the most important agricultural study this year ... was done on land owned by Iowa State University called the Marsden Farm. On 22 acres of it, beginning in 2003, researchers set up three plots: one replicated the typical Midwestern cycle of planting corn one year and then soybeans the next, along with its routine mix of chemicals. On another, they planted a three-year cycle that included oats; the third plot added a four-year cycle and alfalfa. The longer rotations also integrated the raising of livestock, whose manure was used as fertilizer. The results were stunning: The longer rotations produced better yields of both corn and soy, reduced the need for nitrogen fertilizer and herbicides by up to 88 percent, reduced the amounts of toxins in groundwater 200-fold and didn't reduce profits by a single cent. In short, there was only upside - and no downside at all - associated with the longer rotations. There was an increase in labor costs, but remember that profits were stable. So this is a matter of paying people for their knowledge and smart work instead of paying chemical companies for poisons. And it's a high-stakes game; according to the Environmental Protection Agency, about five billion pounds of pesticides are used each year in the United States. A Simple Fix for Farming - NYTimes.com
^ LOL. Squirming and babbling.
Not even the rabidly anti-GMO frenchies think you have any relevance.
