Kim, OFF TOPIC I watched the action soon after the announcement from the FDA allowing radiation. The problem with these upstart companies (there are a few doing this) is that they don't really have anything proprietary to protect themselves from a larger food outfit putting them out of business. I even considered shorting the group. There is still an issue of what will be the demand for meat that can give you mad cow disease, talk show hosts won't eat, which "glows in the dark". Only a disaster (i.e. thousands die from tainted meat) would get the market going IMO. Remember airport bomb detectors? Even then a General Foods will just take it over and win. Kind of like Microsoft with their web browser. Have you considered shorting it?
