Through some bizarre suspension of logic and reasoning, the FDA determined it had no jurisdiction over these potatoes. Potatoes containing a poison. Potatoes to be consumed by millions of unsuspecting consumers because, and this is really strange, there is no labeling required on these potatoes indicating they contain pesticides!!

It's worse than that. According to the New Yorker magazine, they (the potatoes) are actually regulated as a pesticide by the EPA!!!! Now, there is the issue whether or not the Bt is harmful to humans, but . . . .
