rather makes a mess of the claims that GM crops were a threat to all

butterflies doesn't it


Certainly not. It seems that Bt protein acts on different species in
different ways. So, for some insect larvae it will act as extra food
and for others it will be a poison...


looks like they will have to stop organic producers using Bt then if it is
so variable in its effects


I may be wrong but as far as I know organic producers is not allowed to use
GM crops?

I believe that this thought has been enunciated before. A surly critic

might
even use the word "banality".
