1. Kudzu is good for a lot of things.
We need to use it.

As fast as it grows we would never run out.

2. Oh great scott! Just wait until Monsanto produces genetically modified Kudzu
Round-Up Ready Kudzu is on the way. It will get out of the controlled growing plots and cross breed with wild Kudzu. It will make "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" come true.

Tyler Rowland, a high-school senior in Tallahassee, Fla., tells Scott Simon about his bid to turn kudzu into fuel."

I strangely find myself Bullish on Kudzu...Maybe it is going places :hide:
