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

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.

so what

what has this got to do with the childish anthropomorphism of nature. It
makes as much sense as saying that Gravity has a sense of humour.

Course it does, Jim.
It is the mainstay of slapstick comedy
