Two dishes containing peanut plants. One has been badly damaged by insects. The other, genetically engineered, plant is still intact and green. Image is from the Agricultural Research Service.
The cover of a Greenpeace pamphlet against GM crops. The text reads "Genetic Experiment, Don't Buy It." A large X is in the center of the image and the background is a field of yellow crops (most likely oilseed rape plants).
