<<Bt stands for bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria which naturally produces a powerful insecticide. The gene traits of the bacteria were integrated into the genes of the Bt corn, which has now become resistant to the corn borer, a known corn pest. >>

BT is widely used on ORGANIC farms as a way to control insects. It's natural so it has to be good on organic farms but it's pure evil when it's traits are introduced into a corn plant. BTW, the BT traits are only in the roots and stalk and not in the grain.
