We have been growing it for 10 years, and you and I have been eating it for 6 years. Well, maybe you but not me when I can avoid it. We now buy non-gmo, organically grown corn in the freezer. So there. I fail to see why the Bush administration could not have sent just regular ol' corn. We no longer grow it. It is inferior. Someone was reported as saying our current stores are 30% gmo. The U.S. foreign aid chief Andrew Natsios, on Thursday called the "Greenpeace" and the "Friends of the Earth" environmental groups "revolting and despicable" for urging these African Governments not to accept this food. He was informed by these African Governments that these groups pressured them not to use this grain,even though it is in their warehouses, and people there are starving. There is no doubt these groups have done this. One of the stories going around is corn is coming from China. As for whether there is some large conspiracy on the part of Howell Raines who's reach must now exceed the NYTimes, to "spike" this story, that sounds a bit farfetched. But, as you say, and I lke it, twt.
