"Keep your hands off my bargains"

GM food will constantly be presented as a great answer to food shortages. I'd even say they will go as far as creating further shortages - perhaps ones to effect this country, in order to really hurry along a complete compliance with anything GM.

It's the bigger picture we have to consider here.

They are asking us to employ some high level double-think in order to think of bargains as environmental waste!

In reality, I personally feel there should be a lot less packaging on foods in general - I remember comparing various mainstream brands at school in Geography when I was about 15 - we had to say which elements of the food packaging were purely aesthetic as a pose to ergonomic. It's been clear as daylight for years is what I’m saying.

But back to GM - has anyone heard about how some of the GM farms effected the competition? The 'modified' yields spread there seed, ended up growing on other farms not authorised to grow GM foods. The same companies which we’re involved with the setting up and growth of these plants has the audacity to slam a fine or compulsory license for the farms which were simply in the way. What we are faced with is the concept of people actually owning a patent for nature i.e. the seeds that grow the crops which are in everything you eat. Even things you wouldn’t normally consider…

Then tell me you are convinced by the utopian values presented to us by GM mongers.
