The Greenpeace gang: The Five Year Freeze campaign - whose members include Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and ActionAid - said that the LGA decision would give people the right to choose a GM free diet. <Like I said before, what this amounts to is media-driven, economic and trade terrorism. The UK apparently doesn't fully understand how they have been manipulated in this way, since half of them are still struggling to understand the fact that tomatoes have genes in them at all. And the Royal Society only comments on the science part of this issue...> Greenpeace et al has been very clever in making use of the GM potato in this scare campaign. The potato is the most important food staple of the Brits, closest to their hearts...their comfort food (fish and chips, bangers and mash). They don't have to understand it.
