Well sir this is just the problem. "The industry" in its wisdom spares us
the spectre of Bt Johnson grass. But Bt corn *is* spreading across the
landscape. This seed is now being sold in Mexico (no government regulations
because of course its 'substantially equivalet' to regular corn according
to our wise FED et al.) where there are wild relative than can and are
being contaminated.
The arrogance and irresponsibility of this industry verily chills the
blood. 12 monkeys.
