The message
from
(Nick Maclaren) contains these words:
More seriously, one of the most serious of the many crimes that should
be laid at the door of Monsanto is blocking development of the only
likely method of removing heavy metal contamination from large areas
of soil. Quite a few people were interested in breeding plants that
absorb such things, not to sell the metal, but to clean up the soil.
But Monsanto's evil plans got all genetic modification and extreme
plant breeding tarred with the same brush.
Meanwhile the research goes on quietly under a different umbrella just
outside Norwich, where a broccoli with a much enhanced proportion of
anti-cancer constituent has been bred.
And in my back garden where a child-friendly Brussels sprout is under
development. What do people think? Raspberry flavour, or banana?
