In India,"bt brinjal" hitting the table soon ,is hot news.And the name Monsanto & ‘bt’are associated with it.Some sections of the Indian society are up in arms against the introduction of GM foods into the country.

The real advantage for these genetically engineered crops is that they do not require pesticides to grow. The plant itself resists the bugs without having to spray a chemical to kill the pest. I would personally rather have a new gene in my plant than a layer of nasty chemical pesticides all over my food and environment.
