Spot on, I agree with you

My complaint is the oil seed rape that is being modified to withstand weed
killers. All very well except:
1) Weed killer will then be sprayed on the crop willy nilly causing damage
to other plants, including I suspect in adjacent fields and garden.
2)Rape has already spread to become a nuisance weed, killing the modified
version will become very difficult.

So my bitch is not about GM per se but the thoughtless (I think)
modifications that are being done.
