I am studying this great book now and one thing especially struck me and that
is the fact that plants take up antibiotics from soilorganisms and uses these
as protection against insectattacks. I never understood why GE companies did
not remove the antibiotic resistance genes. Am I wrong to think that this is
really a dirty trick by the insecticide selling companies? Or does this show
that these companies actually know nothing about the plants they mess around
with?
