Default UK stands alone in opposing European GM labelling plans - UK backs biotech industry over consume


I think it will come down to that becase it is impossible to get a broad
spectrum of GM free ingredients.


Not at all.

By avoiding soya, maize and derivatives (oils, starches etc) one can
ensure that one completely avoids GM suspect ingredients.

The problems in Africa have put a different perspective on the debate.


It certainly has.

It has shown the US-based World Food Program trying to give away
GM-contaminated corn, which can't be sold to the rest of the world, to
people in Africa who are not given a choice on whether or not they
want GM food.

As you're aware, GM food does not help to solve the world's food
problems. The problems could be solved overnight, if only there were
the political will and the distribution mechanisms to get the food to
the people who need it.

regards
Marcus
