European Union lifts GM food ban

By the gods, I wish the idiot activists so publically opposing GM foods would stop trying to convince people that eating the damnable stuff is bad for them: that's not the real issue with GM crops at all! It's the reduction of genetic diversity and the "engineering" of evolution that's troubling - not to mention the concentration of power into the hands of those able to produce seeds.

Widespread adoption of GM foods will mean the end of agriculture as we know it - and if you think the economy's got problems when a few shieks in the Middle East have their hands on our energy spigot, wait until you get a taste the problems a few multinational corporations "owning" the genetic basis of the food supply will cause.

The European Commission approves one variety of genetically modified corn for human consumption.
