BASF says it hopes GM potatoes could be sold in the UK within 10 years.

look, GM is a depressing fact now, due to the global situation.
i bought cheap soya milk from my local chinese supermarket the other day and its malasian and it doesn't say anything about GM but its GM apparently as are some fruit availiable in Supermarkets here now (can anyone confirm this, particularly strawberries??) and i was shocked last month in holland buying some chips and getting a leading brand of "fritesaus" (popular mayonaise like substance) and to read on the back that it was made from GM soya, christ on a bike, everyone there eats that stuff......depressing or overreaction???

crop trash

Could have been. But I’d be more concerned about the environmental impact of you eating non-local produced soybean…
