Paying to find non-GE wild corn?

Not thet there's much more we can do about it than what we are doing. If you want to convert a sheep or a bacteria to produce a bioactive material such as a protein as a theraputic agent the way foreward is not to breed or mutate but GM a species. I.e. create a self replicating factory. GM food has the potential to generate unwanted materials that mutation and breeding cannot. Unwanted material in foodstuffs will be the rare hazard that we wont recognise until too late. Sadly whole populations will consume; not just the ill for whom the risk would ba acceptable. Due to testing in GM food stuffs we are much less likely to get unintended hazards in food stuffs than we are in in normally bred food stuffs. Another naif who seems to believe that governments and their regulations will save us. It was a British government regulation requiring cattle to be heavily dosed with organophosphate pesticides which may have triggered the BSE outbreak. See Mark Purdy's research. An out break that effects 120 peoples and 600,000 cows. Those are similar to the deaths by lighting over the same period in the south west US. Why don't you do something about he deaths from TB, whooping cough and preventable diseases that are killing people in the UK that can be control for a fraction of the cost of the news on BSE in a week.
