BT corn is through and through a GMO product. It is genetically modified just like liberty link or RR/RR2. I'm not saying that BT and resistance to a spray are the same thing, but it's all a GMO. Upon researching BT corn, I don't see much wrong with the concept. Copy and pasted fro wiki. ""The Bt protein is expressed throughout the plant. When a vulnerable insect eats the Bt-containing plant, the protein is activated in its gut, which is alkaline (the human gut is acidic[12]). In the alkaline environment the protein partially unfolds and is cut by other proteins, forming a toxin that paralyzes the insect's digestive system and forms holes in the gut wall. The insect stops eating within a few hours and eventually starves.""
The BT trait doesn't hurt humans, being that our stomach isn't alkaline, but acidic. RU-Ready scares me more than BT, but then you have to decide if you want atrazine sprayed on your corn or Round up. I'd prefer Round Up over atrazine. You're always stuck between a rock and a hard place with this stuff. You have to pick the lesser of two evils.

This is the place! Bought
