GMO-corn falling to root-borers

Organic Bytes #294: Monsanto’s Frankencrops Toppling, Peaceful Uprising, 350.org

Quote:

"In late July, scientists in Iowa documented... corn rootworms ...that can happily devour [GMO] corn
[meant] to kill them. Monsanto's corn [expresses] a toxic gene [- the GMO-corn] accounts for 65%
of the [USA-]corn planted... The superinsects [were] also [found] in Illinois & Minnesota."

well, that was quick - Now what, fellas? Make it more-toxic?
