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.


what total rubbish


where to you apply to 'nature' for a licence, where does 'nature' test and
'allow' these genes.


Nature is not a person for christsake!

Organims including humans have learned to coexist.

Now we have to learn new lessons very fast.

Lettuce can take up E coli from soil and have it reside in the
edible portion. That E coli can have multiple drug resistance,
because of current practices.

Bacteria can exchange DNA within human cells, protected from
antibiotics, too.
