Not just Sweet Corn. . . look close at the two ears in the middle.
To right of middle is an ear splitting to form 2. To left, the ear is splitting to form 3.

Have you ever?

The fertilizers used on the fields may have come from animals eating Monsanto subjected feed. Who knows?

Since we are beyond productive years, our concern is, what of our person might sprout additional growth... !!!

Yes - god forbid that in a world where people are starving there should be plants that produce more food from the same amount of sunlight and nutrient input.

So what do you think about the modified salmon? It was modified with a gene from another fish that grows continually vs the salmon which grows seasonally (I think). It grows faster and larger than a normal salmon. More food can be produced by this gene spliced salmon than a regular salmon at a lower cost per pound.

Would you eat it?

Though it's supposed to be safe, I don't think I will try it. Eating something with a gene for uncontrolled growth scares me because that's how cancer acts. There's no way to predict what will happen to these fish ten years down the road. We need to stop messing with the natural order of things and learn how to protect and make better use of what we have. The only ones who will benefit from this are the fish farmers, who will make more money on their salmon.
