...alternatives are on the horizon. ADM, for example, has developed oils that not only behave like hydrogenated oils but also, Matlock says, are relatively healthy. The biotech giant Monsanto, meanwhile, is working on a variety of seeds for a stable soy oil. The first non-genetically-engineered batch of those will produce only 80 million lbs. of oil this year, according to Robert Reeves, executive director of the industry's Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils.

Warren also expects about 500 of the "small groups" that make up Saddleback to "adopt" individual Rwandan villages and begin sending short-term visitors in the fall.
