Scotland to issue formal ban on genetically modified crops (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/aug/09/scotland-to-issue-formal-ban-on-genetically-modified-crops?CMP=twt_a-science_b-gdnscience)
Not sure what's worse: that the Scots have moved forward with this despite scientists arguing that it's stupid (http://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-scottish-government-announcement-on-ban-of-gm-crops/), or that the anti-GMO crowd are going to point to this as reason for America to follow suit. ("See, Scotland banned GMOs, why can't we? It's because Monsanto owns our government!")
