Again, it's not that simple.

As soon as GM crops are grown, freedom of choice is removed from the
farmer growing conventional or organic crops.


Not at all. The organic boys merely need to follow the ec definition of
gm-free of 2% and they are fine.

See what has happened in Canada, for example, where it is now almost
impossible to grow organic canola, because of contamination by GM
varieties. The same would happen in the UK.


Then change the definition to something more sensible.

After all organic producers use antibiotics, pesticides, fertilisers and
a wide range of products one might think they should not be using
anyway. If they choose a completely nil level then it's their own rod
that beats them themselves. Don't expect me to feel sorry for them for
being stupid.
