...of GMOs to help them sell more RoundUp rather than just engineering the plants to be more resistant to pests, not for GMOs themselves! That Glyphosate in RoundUp is nasty and I've read that some studies correlate it's use with lower IQs and higher rates of ADHD among people in the rural areas where it is used (so THAT'S the matter with Kansas!).

Funy that Glyphosate is never mentioned by the anti-GMO nuts...
