Default Byssinosis from GM cotton?

Yes cattle are grass eaters. Yes they can be fed grain to fatten
them. Then some digestion is still progressing in the intestines and
the E.Coli can increase.


Isn't E coli in the feces of EVERY animal?

Termites can have bacteria or bigger organisms in their guts which
digest cellulose for them.


What are the bigger organisms?

The bollworm may be a bit simpler, but
who knows what may happen with the GM packages present in its feed?


Nothing different than any other scenario.

The strength of the Bt tapers off as the plant reaches maturity so
OPs are still required for late stage protection.


So what? How is it WITHOUT BT?

Attempts to
produce cotton with two different Bt genes to try to overcome that
have produced a rather low yielding cotton.


And so they've given up and gone home? Do you complain at the weather
every morning?
