There is also apparently some very legitimate concern regarding (unknown) health aspect of human consumption of GM soybeans since China tends to directly consume soy protein rather than "running it through livestock" first as we do in the US. Even the Chinese leadership must have some strong reservations about feeding their population a foodstuff that while it looks like a traditional one...is not on the molecular level. I suppose though that much of this concern will abate when they get what they want "diplomatically speaking". We don't know for certain (or even close enough for my comfort) if GM foodstuffs are "safe" for human consumption...and the studies run by the labs that were funded by those that had the most to gain that "proved" they were are of less value than the human studies we are currently running that have shown that they are unfit for "some humans" consumption.
Don't the Japanese have a similar policy on GM soybeans Keith? Dana __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
