Monsanto BT Toxin Corn Is Ready For Your Plate, Among 17 Year Low Yield

Frankencorn, as some call it, MON 810 aka YieldGard as Monsanto calls it, has been genetically modified to resist its own Roundup herbicide and insects. The corn is engineered to contain Bt toxin, which tears up the digest system of insects when they eat it.
