U.S. consumer groups to sue USDA over GMO medicine crops


so what, Americans are notorious for bringing silly court cases

The answer is rather simple. If you are using corn for the pharm crop plant
it in the irrigated valleys of California where no one grows a crop with
that low a return on investment or grow it on one of the big ranches that
that have total control of the crops and traffic near them. Many of our
presidents hunt and fish on them because it doesn't cost anything for
security or disrupt the community. I used to fish near one that G. Bush the
Elder hunted on occasionally and the only thing different was there would be
a couple of extra coast guard boats and a little more helicopter traffic
over by Matagorda Island. I am sure he had is usual secret service people
with him but it didn't up set the town for a week like it did when he gave a
commencement speech here at OSU.

We have plenty of places that they can be raised safely if the idiot in
charge used their heads.

I never could understand why a company form College Station, Texas went to
corn country to raise their corn when they could have stayed in their own
back yard on the Brasos River where very little corn is raised because
cotton or cattle pay better and done it at home. The yield would have been
a little lower but so would the risks.

They are looking for a new CEO with strong pharmaceutical experiance.
