UK stands alone in opposing European GM labelling plans - UK backs biotech industry over consume
"Marcus Williamson" wrote in message ... 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. ============= That takes a pretty big list of the shelves of the grocery market. 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. ===================== The price of GM corn has more than doubled in the last year it is so hard to sell. The choice over some minute difference that fools like you have been taken by people trying to foster their political idolgy on the world by playing on people fears have made an issue. This corn that I eat every time I eat somting with corn in it has never hurt a single person. Your campain for choice has people lying dead in Afirica because their leaders are afraid of losing their EU markets, afraid it is toxic or using it as an excuse to steal the corn. I really expect the latter is the case. 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. =============== That only real answer is to grow the food were it is needed and to do that the local crops need to be made pest resistat, droght tolerant, more nutrious and in some case more salt tolerant. The only way it can be done in many cases in a reasonable time frame is gentic engineering. It is you and peole like you that are on of the main problems in feeding the wolds poor. Being neither poor or haveing anything to do with agriculture some how you have some devine revelation on how it should be done and get in the way of people that know what they are doing. I do my best to seed that my land produces food for the world. Do you want to own up to the dead Africans your hinderace of GM food laid on the ground. Gordon |
