I'm against GM food. I'd like GM food to be banned in this country. Maybe you too have views on GM food. Most people in the UK seem to be against GM food. I have the impression that the Government and the Food Standards Agency don't give a damn what members of the public think; they are in favour of GM food. I suppose there's some inducement involved somewhere.
The Food Standards Agency commissioned a report Exploring Attitudes to GM Food, carried out by the National Centre for Social Research, containing the findings of a focus group, involving a sample of only 30 people.
The Telegraph has an article here about the report. I'd say the most obvious 'attitude' to which the report draws attention is the patronising attitude of the report's authors towards the people whose attitudes they are supposedly exploring.
Here are some websites that, like me, and maybe you, are also against GM food. There are many others.

I too am against GM food. I am a great believer that things left in their natural state are how they are meant to be. When you "mess around" with things, they lose their balance and get out of sync. If you then choose to eat food which has lost its balance then surely you are leaving yourself open to that same end?
ReplyDeleteI'm against GM food also. I'm having a hard time with the idea that people in the UK are putting up with their officials that are trying to cram GM food down their throats. If your officials are doing something that the public doesn't want, those officials should be removed from office.
