      Exactly.
      The main obstacle to GM crops is public opinion
      The great British public believe that GM will grow potatos the size of medicine balls
      The great BritiSh public was mostly against GM
      Because of some food shortages public opinion is shifting

      hence my question
      does anyone on here find their opinion shifting

      I think the answer was a no.Except for me. I think yields will increase , and I also think they will do so with less water(which is the next big problem coming down the pipe)

      I find myself becoming a big fan of GM

        There is evidence that GMs can cause cancer.

        Also why do you think that UK schools have banned GMs from their menus.

          ... and when all that we can eat is GM modified what will be the alternative when we have to give it up for health reasons. The alternative to cigarettes was ok because we can survive without them but what will be the alternative to GM foods when that is all we will have ??!!

            ... which is why they shouldn't be allowed to become all we have.

                They probably do. We are 50% banana(s) ourselves don't forgetl.

                P.s. Is a banana a tree or a bush?
