Would you consume BT coated Brinjal or Pesticide coated Brinjal ?

BT is considered as safe for human consuption which is approved by Government.and we can't think govt would approve something which is unsafe for human consumption as once it is approved they too would be using the products.The introduction of BT Cotton in India ,changed India from a cotton Exporting nation to Importing nation.The fear about Bt-protein becoming a toxin for humans is misplaced.Actually people have a wrong notion that conventional farming has no defects.Some of the insecticides that are used by farmers can still be carried over even if consumer clean it properly.This will affect Human health badly.
