"Genetically Engineered Corn Causes Concern"

"The agricultural giant, Syngenta, has petitioned the U.S. Department of Agriculture to grant its new genetically modified corn a non-regulated status. This means that the company’s new seeds could be grown without management or geographic restrictions across the country. [The new strain was engineered to be grown specifically for ethanol--not for human consumption.] Some food experts, and farmers, fear that if this corn is grown without limits, it could end up in the food supply."
