Hoping to ease people&#39;s anxieties about what they were eating, President George W. Bush vowed to draw a protective shield around the food supply and defend it from farm to fork. An Associated Press analysis of the programs found that the government has spent at least $3.4 billion on food counter&#45;terrorism in the last decade, but key programs&#8230;"

Since the borers that attack the genetically modified crops die, there are fewer of them to go after the non&#45;modified version.
