Monsanto gets a clue: suspends genetically engineered wheat

My guess is Monsanto basically was forced into stopping because there was such a huge, worldwide backlash to GE'd foods and Monsanto effectively owning the food supply.

The company announced the suspension at its headquarters in St. Louis Monday, saying that it had suspended development of the wheat, which would have been able to resist Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, primarily for economic reasons. The suspension means that it will also discontinue breeding and field-level research of the crop, as well.
