Second, the GM
>potatoes used contained almost 20% less protein than unmodified potatoes.
This is very interesting but does anybody know why? I have heard that
Roundup Ready Soybean have lower yields and that they might be more
suspectable to disease problems. Is that a matter of using scarce plant
resources for other purposes like making Bt protein? But would not the Bt
protein showup in the protein tests?
On another front, 20 % less protein is a big problem for those whose diet
is already protein deficient diets.
