USDA Approves GM Soybean, DuPont and Monsanto Compete

Dupont and Monsanto Compete Over Cooking Oil

The Agriculture Department will approve for broad use tomorrow a genetically modified soybean engineered to contain healthier oils, the opening salvo in a biotech oil fight between DuPont Co. and its rival, Monsanto Co.

Evidently this crop and its oil will be ready for use by 2012. The oil ha been tested on some foods and apparently eliminates a step that produces trans fats.

Fact from article: More than 90 percent of the U.S. soybean crop is already genetically engineered.

Ooops.

I suspect I've placed this is the wrong forum. Mod help plz?

Wrong forum? You want it moved to BAN forum?

Medical Issues & Conspiracies fits in part at least, the safety of GM foods is not settled...

Both forums are fine for this news, depends on your perspective.

Okay, thank you. I wasn't certain if this was appropriate.

"BAN forum"

What can I do if the acronym/shortening of "Breaking Alternative News" is BAN...?

But the safety seems secondary in this case, your perspective seems more correct.

It was reporting on the products (to be)/approved...

can move to Breaking Alternative News then, no problems.
