Homage to Bt Corn
Valerie Coskrey © 2014
Oh, Chimera,You're fated to be
Reviled for your
Lack of purity.
Your grandmothers 3
Are surprised to see
The offspring
Of your continuity
Since traits All behold
That ancestors gave
Through descent
Of grandparents 5 unfold.

A science poem on GMO corn produced by genetic engineering
Let us not forget about the animals and bacteria that produce insulin and other meds for us humans. Corn plants that are resistant to insects have the promise of increasing a farmer's yield. There are downsides to GMO products, but there is much promise, too.

See slide presentation on the top 10 GMO foods as presented by the Discovery Channel.
