Ventria has combined human lysozyme with rice, and have applied to the United States Department of agriculture for permits to plant 204 acres of their genetically modified organism (GMO) this spring in Missouri. One unforeseen problem with new GMO crops is that the winds spread new genes to other plants producing unexpected results. Dylan sang, "The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind..." Ventria attempted to plant their human/rice crop in California in the Spring of 2004, but the publicity and subsequent protest uprooted their plans. This time, their strategy is to keep things low key. Very few Americans are aware of what is going on. That is, until this very moment. In 2002, a team of researchers determined that this new science fiction rice had antibiotic-like properties when fed to baby chickens. Their work was published in the Journal of Nutrition (2002, 132: 1214-1218). The Missouri Department of Agriculture awaits your comments. Please take this opportunity to show the "Show Me" state that human DNA should not be implanted into rice.
