[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 8087514, member: 610"] I wonder what proportion of the planets food is gm. I suspect it’s more than I would think. The op post is in the bbc manner of asking a simple question and only accepting a simple answer when there isn’t one. I guess most of the British public if they were questioned would say it’s not good and they are against gm as a whole. However by explaining that by making plants pest resistant and therefore reducing the need to spray non selective chemical everywhere. Or the ability to make a plant drought and salt tolerant so that food can be grown where people are hungry or the holy grail of making wheat a legume. Perhaps the public may understand it’s a good thing. In reality the British middle classes won’t as they have a full stomach and when they are in Tesco there’s more for them to buy. Times are changing though [USER=138158]@jadedhills[/USER] food supply is definitely an issue now whether you think it is or not and perhaps I will be allowed to grow suitable gm crops soon. Certainly the idea of spraying maize once instead of 2 or 3 times is appealing Bg [/QUOTE]
