Ah, but they use less of *other* herbicides. It takes a complex
cocktail to defend regular soybeans against dicots; with Roundup
soybeans you just need Roundup. Also, they don't use more
roundup on those particular soybeans; you can't you Roundup on
regular soybeans at all. It kills them as avidly as any weed.
Obviously Monsanto sells more Roundup in general.
