GM wheat

Here is a few words about it..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DREADED WHEAT
Some farmers in the U.S. are joining environmental and consumer
groups in opposing genetically engineered crops, adding strength to
campaigns to have the crops regulated more tightly. More than 40
state bills have been introduced this year to regulate the crops or
the labeling of foods made from them. In North Dakota, a bill to ban
the planting of genetically modified wheat for two years has already
passed the state House and is now before the Senate. Although many
farmers favor genetically modified crops because they have traits
like strong pest resistance, some farmers fear they won't be able to
sell the crops abroad. Europe and Japan are strictly regulating such
crops and consumers outside the U.S. are avoiding foods that contain
genetically engineered ingredients.
