Bully for you. What has that got to do with it?


What it means is that if you think eating GM might be bad for you
then
stay away from all conventional crop varieties since we don't know
what
genetic changes happened to yield the required characters, unlike GM.
Also don't eat cauliflower, Brussel sprouts or broccoli, all mutant
cabbages. Who knows what genetic sequences caused these? some may
have
happened because, gasp!, a virus went haywire and disrupted some
vital
genes. Oh and also stay away from organge carrots, nature meant
carrots
to be green.


I don't think that eating GM crops is necessarily bad for you, so the
above paragraph is irrelevant. 1/10 for the patronising attitude, I've
seen it done much better.

Well since you think that then the first sentence indicates the above
was not aimed at you ;-)

You taking the **** or what? ha ha ha. what is it you do there,
gardening?

To assume that I speak for the University of Dundee is to be deluded.

If you advertise the fact, then you do, otherwise lose the
assosciation. Have they authorised you to talk a load of ******** on
their behalf?

I look forward to seeing a list of titles of the load of ******** you claim
to be talked by Peter.
My impression is that you have been very unlucky so far in not being able to
win a single argument against him.
By the way, in no University worthy of the name is it necessary to obtain
permission to speak in public about any matter whatsoever, including your
own expertise.
