Thanks Harvey for some real data to counteract what I had read and heard. Please don't take my comments as a personal attack for growing GM crops - it is mostly fear of the unknown and the suspicion that we have no choice in the matter. Look at the way that the world's soya supply has been contaminated by mixing GM and non-GM soya so that no-one can avoid it unless they refuse to eat pre - prepared or processed foods. For over 15 years our family has avoided eating anything that has not been prepared from scratch - but what has been fed to the meat we eat?

Sorry to be a pain when I know that farmers have a hard life - without you we would all starve!! I just don't trust the big corporations not to lie!!
