The real problem with GMO's

George Monbiot hits the nail on the head: the real problem is pwtents of genetic material and therefore the ownershop of everything we eat or grow and the knock on effects of TNC's owning everything we eat and wear ... it's a brave new world and I'm not very happy about some of it .... Mr Monbiot [points out that GMO foods are not contributing greatly to ending world hunger which would be far more usefully dealt with by giving more people basic access to necessities and means of production. It's not rocket science -far from it we should be diverting money from some of the rocket science into what we know could be achieved in making this plaent fit for all to live on.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
