<<Ish, I don't want to tick you off, and I am afraid that I am saying things that irritate you. >> No, ticks on me irritate me. BT corn pollen does seem to harm Monarch butterfly caterpillars in some areas but only where the milkweed gets covered with it. I would guess a plane flying over and dumping 1,000 gallons of Savin would be hard on the caterpillar too. You can bet that Monsanto has tested the BT corn pretty extensively. If J.R. Monfort wound up with 3,000,000,000 dead steers because the corn was poisonous he'd be suing. Remember the tomato deal? All they did was remove the gene that causes rotting and people acted like they were putting a poison in. Corn that's not BT is genetically altered. Corn in it's natural state didn't have an ear. Selective breeding is gene altering.
