GMO concerns

Sir,
Concerning LinksDossier Genetically Modified Organisms, in Jeffrey Smith's book about GMOs, Seeds of Deception, there is a anecdotal reference to cows not recognising GMO corn as food.  In bins placed side by side, cows ignored GMO corn and ate the non-GMO variety.  I wonder if someone might test if the same is true for grass and other grazing materials?  We might want to see if cows recognise contaminated grazing fields as food sources.  If cows do not acknowledge GMO corn as food, might this also carry over to contaminated grazing fields as well?

On a sweeter note, a friend of mine said that bees worldwide seem to be under some kind of stress, and therefore, not producing honey as well, and not reproducing themselves as well also.  I suggested cross-species GMO contamination.  Bees fly around and do not exploit their usual pollen sources because they no longer recognize the contaminated fauna as source material.  Would be good material for a 1950's sci-fi flick - instead of insects growing to a monstrous size and eating people, they simply vanish from the face of the earth because they don't recognize anything as food.  The plus side: if we stuff ourselves with GMO food, maybe mosquitos won't bite us.
