GM corn coming to the UK

[Guest guest]

From "Grist magazine", a beacon in the smog.

Highly recommended e-zine on environmental

matters.

 

We can't get away from the big bad world no matter

how much we try, but we can defend our systems

as well as we can by good nutrition and supplements

that embody the primordial wisdom of Creation.

3.CORN TO BE WILDU.K. to Approve Planting of GM CornThe British government is set to give the go-ahead for genetically modified corn to be grown in the nation, according to documents leaked yesterday from a meeting of top government officials. A formal announcement is expected next week, though the government maintains that no final decision has been reached. The leaked discussion notes that "the public [is] unlikely to be receptive," but that an outright ban on GM crops would be "the easy way out" and "an irrational way for the government to proceed." It adds hopefully that "opposition might eventually be worn down by solid, authoritative scientific argument." Response from U.K. enviros was immediate and furious. Greenpeace campaigner Ben Ayliffe summarized: "The public has said no, the science has said no, even his own economists have said no, but [Prime Minister] Tony Blair is desperate to spin us into accepting GM."straight to the source: The Guardian, Paul Brown, 19 Feb 2004<http://www.gristmagazine.com/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=2041>straight to the source: Terra Daily, Agence France-Presse, 19 Feb 2004<http://www.gristmagazine.com/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=2042>
