If the project is to offer the pig industry anti diarrhea soyabean,

when you think of all the non-food plant species that we grow, it

seem a tad unimaginative (to say the least) to use food species for

Yeah, but there could be good reasons why they actually do use
feed/food
plant species -- like in this case, soybean (and apparently corn too)
to
produce a diarrhea drug.


I saw your other post, and certainly it makes sense.
