Re: WTO to impose GM food against UK democratic will
The ingredients you mention the only ones I have a problem with are salt and fat. As long as the rest is presentable, I'll eat it. :2thumbsup:
Trying to educate the masses to caring what they eat is throwing pearls to swine. If you really expect the smoking, drinking mob we call the general populace to care I feel you expect far too much of them. As you said, their point of view is basically cut and pasted off the front of a tabloid on virtually a daily basis with no undertanding of consistency. :no:

Re: WTO to impose GM food against UK democratic will
I'm all for mandated clear labeling, but in the end, it won't matter. The GM food will be cheaper, it will be popular, and the stores will eventually stop stocking non-GM food.
As with global warming, the wise people are promoting caution. If they are right, the GM foods will permanently alter our world, maybe with disasterous results. And it may be irreversible. Other issues, like global warming are the same. It's long-term thinking over short-term profits. If they are wrong, then we live another generation or two with GM food. That won't hurt us.
There is nothing wrong with caution. We have survived for thousands of years with GM food, and we don't need it now.
Some people, like Crazed Rabbit and others, need to research GM foods before thay start comparing it to hybridization. Many of the supporters of GM are really uninformed.
