American farmers grew the corn in America, Ish. Did you read the whole article? Did you note how easy it is to get things mixed up that might destroy whole species, cause allergic reactions in people, etc.? These are exactly the issues people who are concerned about GMO crops are talking about. "Syngenta, based in Basel, Switzerland, said farmers produced 165,000 tons of the unapproved Bt-10 strain of corn on 37,000 acres in the United States from 2001 through the end of last year, thinking that they were producing Bt-11, its approved cousin. Both strains have a protein that is toxic to the European corn borer."
