Subject: RE: BS: GMOs... new thread. A must read.
I have the most serious doubts about GM, to the point that I wrote a song about it 14 years ago, called Monsanto's Promise.

I believe that it is impossible to put the genie back in this particular bottle.

You cannot test GM safely on crops or animals, and you cannot predict the effects of letting it into the food chain.

Attempts were made in the UK to isolate fields of genetically modified crops, such that cross contamination couldn't occur.

Patent bullshit, given the range of movement of birds, foxes, badgers, bees, rabbits etc. etc.

There's plenty of reason to ban it, but a conspiracy theory about the so-called "New World Order" using it to cull the human population?

Come on lads for Christ's sake! All that does is turn your genuine doubts about the safety of GM into the ravings of an imbecile conspiracy theorist, which can, and will be ignored.

Let's stick within the boundaries of reality, eh?
