4. This scorpion carrot was featured as part of a Greenpeace campaign to raise awareness of GM foods. The text, which is missing in this image, says: “The DNA of genetically modified plants may contain the genes of insects, animals or even viruses.” Hence the scorpion, and why it’s as scary as hell!

    These are hilarious! I’ve seen some crazy veggies come out of my garden and the farmer’s market, but these are over the top! Is it too much nitrogen in the soil that makes carrots split like that?
