When foreign genes are introduced into an organism, creating a transgenic organism (commonly called a genetically modified or genetically engineered organism), the results for the organism and its environment are almost always unpredictable.

When GMOs escape into the wild there is a risk engineered traits will infiltrate more delicate natural species, or even generate superweeds resistant to herbicides. A study done by the Nature Institute showed that creeping bentgrass-a USDA-approved herbicide resistant grass engineered by Monsanto and Scotts Company for golf courses-had spread its transgene via pollen to native and related plants 13 mis beyond the control area.

"Monsanto already dominates America's food chain with its genetically modified seeds. Now it has targeted milk production. Just as frightening as the corporation's tactics–ruthless legal battles against small farmers–is its decades-long history of toxic contamination."
