Default The DEFRA [Uk] report into "GM contamination"

Marcus Williamson writes
What it will do is make a solid
foundation for going forward by ensuring that regulations leave enough
distance between crops.


This is nonsense.

How do you prevent storms, birds and bees from carrying pollen beyond
the "normal" distance? The only way to prevent the contamination is to
stop growing the crops in open fields and leave them in the lab where
they belong.


sigh

it depends on which genes are being transferred and whether it confers
any advantage in the wild.

Thus RR genes are irrelevant but insecticidal ones may well not be.
