I have been asking scientists and politicians for the last 4 years
to
provide me with evidence of safety tests which prove that GM crops
are
safe. None have been able to provide the evidence.

Marcus,

Given that you refuse to accept or acknowledge any of tha data out
there, the onus is on you to state what you want to see. Be specific.
Do not say a vague thing like "safety data," because there is already
an
abundance of that, and you refuse to accept. Time for you to come up
with the details....

the trouble is he cannot do that because he knows that no food has that
kind of data so he ends up hoist by his own petard
