That's Round-Up ready SOYBEANS. No pesticides were added. The gene Round-Up acts on was deleted. Same as with the tomato that doesn't rot as fast. That could have been done with selective breeding but it would have taken forever and taste might have been sacrificed. The BT corn is a little different as it happens to have the ability to produce something extra, but after going through 5 billion bushels the world doesn't seem any worse. Corn has also been developed to have a higher protein content, more oil, larger ears, more kernels per ear.......it doesn't look like milo any longer.
