 There does seem to be more than a grain of evidence that GM crops are bad for you. :idea:

I avoid anything containing maize.

And what about soya - just about all processed foods contain some - and all those livestock products that are not certified organic and therefore hopefully GM free? As has been said - it's almost impossible these days to buy any feed that doesn't contain GM... It's getting more and more difficult.

Yep , the very reason i am setting everything up to supply all i need . All veg , old varieties . Same with grains , hemp , flax , cotton , fruit etc etc .
Due to monsantos gm insanity and there poison roundup , there are now roundup resistant mega weeds . What is their answer ? They are now using part of agent orange . The defoliant they sprayed vietnam with and killed hundreds of thousands and caused illness and deformety in millions .  Monsanto are an evil disgusting company that will cause untold death and destruction on the world as they have for 50 years .

It was a choice Deep. Invest my money in companies that made it worthwhile doing so or fritter it away on rubbish.

Glaxo Smith Kline. BP. Monsanto and Imperial Tobacco Company

All proved to be worthwhile.

Garden organic have been fighting against gm foods since they started but when do governments listen once thye've made their minds up.
 
If anyone knows of organic dairy nuts or once that are guaranteed gm free, please let me know.

I'm quite happy to eat gm food but then I've got a background in genetics. Had a quick look at the study as reported in various publications (not seen the raw stats) and from a critical appraisal viewpoint it raises many questions for me. Why did they initially release the results to journalists on condition that those results weren't shared with other researchers? Journalists are notouriously crap at interpreting research stats.

Doesn't mean the data is wrong but I'd need much more rigourous appraisal and a higher level of evidence to convince me. Which is what the french government seems to be requesting.
