Super Wheat Ain't Sweet.

       Ya know, I don't understand this whole thing about genetically modified food products. But this much I do know. Lots folks get spooked when they hear about companies like Monsanto developing altered corn, wheat and a lot of other grains. Probably even fruits and berries too. I think folks are afraid they might begin to glow in the dark or sprout and extra hand or whatever.
       But we can feel safe because our government keeps an eye on them and others in that industry, to make sure they don't do anything dumb like making a seed that is immune to any kind of weed killer. Except we now find that some of that wheat is actually growing out in Oregon. The big questions are how did we find out about it and why is it growing in the first place, since it was never approved by the government?
       Funny thing happened on a farm out in Oregon. Farmer Brown (not his real name) decided to clear a wheat field so he could use it for another purpose. Perhaps to pan for gold. At any rate, he sprayed the field with Monsanto's best weed killer. That'll be that, he thought. But that wasn't that because the wheat improved. Well at least it kept growing.
       So what's the big fuss about one lousy field of wheat, I mean we could just burn it down. But what if it won't burn either? It's modified not to be bothered by weedkiller. Well fire is a weed killer. Maybe it's impervious to fire too. That would be good for houses. We could build wheat homes. Well, the problem is that our biggest buyer of wheat outside America, is Japan and they stopped buying any wheat from us until this matter is cleared up. Even the European Union doesn't want our wheat unless we can prove it's not genetically modified.
       This sounds like a job for superslueth. Our government man in the field, so to speak. He's better known as double O slash 14234P-9483-3202309234098X for short. Seriously, if our government won't even approve it, it can't be all that good for us. It would be nice if the EPA and the Agriculture Department would clear this thing up.
