GM Crops

[oracleslave]

There is evidence that GM crops cause damage to the insect population which has had effects further up the food chain. Damaging the food chain could have terrible consequences.

Now I don't know what to worry about most.

4x4's in Chelsea causing the icecaps to melt, or a tomato plant that will destroy the worlds eco-system.

Damn you guys.

For example, if bees became extinct, pollination in many cases would not occur, and many species of plant would then die out.

What evidence is that? Is it the giant tomato plants going on the rampage and destroying anything that's in their path? Or was that daffodils?

Didn't John Wyndham write a book about this?

Anyone have any strong views on the use of GM crops ? Has anyone modified their views due to the current food shortages in some parts of the world ?

no - always thought is was a good idea.
