Monsanto Corn Under Attack By Superbug

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 47•35 • Sep 1, 2011

An Iowa entomologist discovered a corn rootworm that has evolved to be resistant to a pesticide produced by a genetically modified corn plant the Monsanto company developed to ward off that very bug. What do you think?

“That's why I always add extra pesticides to my produce the minute I get home.”

“Uh-oh, you don't want to make Monsanto angry. Those worms had better get ready to have their asses sued off.”
Dan Holloway –
Immunohematologist
“You sure are talking up these rootworms quite a bit. Whose side are you on, anyway?”
