Hey Jonesy.....

I don't mean to crash you thread or anything, But........

We as humans have been genetically modifying crop for thousands of years, just look at your shopping most of the fruit and veg in your basket is the result of selective breeding which is a type of modification. Lets take for example the humble cabbage. from the basic plant hundreds of years ago we now have:-

Green cabbage
White cabbage
Savoy Cabbage
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Brussel Sprouts

Etc.....

I think you should be a little bit narrower in your definition of GM.

:flop:

Yes m8 i'm aware of all that,selective breeding i do not have a problem with and it is actually a very good reason why genetic engineering by the likes of Monsanto is not needed.
I don't have the time to be honest to outline the fine details.
