GMOs in Europe

so the EU has decided to allow small 'trial' GMO potato crops to be planted in Europe. but they are very clear: the potatoes produced would not be for general consumption, only animal consumption so, they say, it's totally safe. plus, they'd make sure there was no contamination of other crops. right. i'm sorry but, ARE THEY COMPLETELY BLEEDING MAD????? everyone already knows the 'no contamination' thing is moot. plus, as someone pointed out, it's practically impossible to harvest ALL the potatoes that are grown, as some invariably stay in the ground, hightening the possibility of contamination. and, HELLO!... the animals that will be eating these potatoes (cows and pigs), will most probably end up in someone's plate or their milk in someone's glass. this is really stupid. i'm obviously completely against GMOs but let's face it, if they're gonna allow them, they might as well allow them everywhere.
