Monsanto Co. helped pay for a demonstration in favor of
genetically modified organisms in Washington, D.C.,
according to a published report. About 100 members of a
Baptist church got a check from the biotech giant, an
organizer of the protest said.

Scientists say they've found a way to genetically alter
young hogs so they grow much faster and larger than normal
swine, as reported nationally this week. Less noticed was a
report about a new hog-production system that promises
tastier pork, less damage to the environment and the
potential for greater profits among independent farmers.
That system would eschew modern factory farms.
