I referred to this article previously but didn't give the whole story. It stated that this incident represents a potential threat to trade. That's because other countries have not fully accepted the idea of modified foods.

I have a somewhat different take on the FDA: From what I have noticed, they only look at the results of studies given to them by the companies seeking approval. Drug companies often withhold information about the possible long-term side effects of their drugs. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if Monsanto did the same. For example, why would they submit a study to the FDA showing the development of superweeds? That would be a long term side effect that Monsanto doesn't have to look at or acknowledge.

As far as plowing the weeds under, how would one do that without destroying the crop? Weeds tend to grow alongside crops.

Thankfully, other countries have their own highly intelligent scientists evaluating GM wheat. We don't have a monopoly on intelligence. They might be the one's who save the day. They are the buyers and we are the sellers and buyers tend to be more cautious than sellers. Good for them!
