Para2.What was Arpad Pustzai’ study about and what is the consequence of its publication? Para3.what are European anti-GMO food campaign’s consequences? Para4.Why GMO crops are rare in Europe? By far the most common genetically modified (GM) organisms are crop plants. But the technology has now been applied to almost all forms of life, from pets that glow under UV light to bacteria which form HIV-blocking living condoms and from pigs bearing spinach genes to goats that produce spider silk. 出现了能在紫外线下发光的宠物，能够预防HIV病毒的“生态安全套”，含菠菜基因的转基因猪，甚至还有能产出蛛丝般纤维的山羊。 GM tomatoes, as puree, first appeared on British supermarket shelves in 1996 (a different fresh GM tomato first appeared in the US in 1994), but the consumer furore that surrounded GM technology did not erupt until February 1999. This was because a controversial study suggested that a few strains of GM potatoes might be toxic to laboratory rats. Those experiments, subsequen
