The Government is planning to give the go-ahead for the UK's first
GM crop, a variety of maize called T25, to be planted commercially even
though serious questions remain about its impact on the environment and
its safety to both humans and animals.

It is a known fact that GM modified pollen contaminates and alters the eco-balance of nature, the long term implications are unknown. But still in their arrogance and against the majority of peoples wishes, governments continue to jeopardise human health for profit. Isn't it time we stopped these maniacs from leading us into yet another environmental disaster.
