How far away is labelling of GM ingredientsin corn chips, herrings in
tomato sauce, chocolate &c &c?


Logically, as far away as labelling that a random mutation happened in
the corn field.


No because the sorts of mutations which nature has learnt to allow to
multiply are ones beneficial to itself. The `junk' genes which can later
help the plant relate to stress are tested over the thousands of years.
Nature has learnt to keep a strict order in the genome. The GM process
defeats that. Many people are saying that drug resistance markers should
have ceased being used, or never started.
