Campaign activists are also demanding that corporations and governments heed
the concerns of consumers, North and South, and remove genetically
engineered corn and other foods and crops from the market, unless they
can be proven to be safe for human health and the environment. Recently
hundreds of US consumers have reported allergic reactions to the FDA after
eating Kraft and other brand name products likely containing genetically
engineered corn.


Well I guess it is better to spray the sweet corn  seven to nine times with insecticide to keep the ear worn out of it than to have the abilty to plant a cor n that doesn't have to be sprayed.  Isn't it a little bit odd that you organic growers can spray BT on crops but can't use BT corn.
