LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, New Zealand news from The Press, March 31, 1999 Modified food Sir--Must of the recent debate in The Press on genetically modified, organic, and conventional food appears to be charged with emotion and confusion. I believe it is about time that we label the produce for what it contains such as water, sugars, proteins, vitamins, nitrate, genetically modified organisms, spray residues, and others. Consumers should pay for what is in the produce and not for what others believe to be safe or unsafe without adequate valid scientific evidence. For example, it is misleading to advertise that all organic produce is safe and chemical-free since organic apples are produced with copper sprays. I have yet to see that the level of toxic copper in these "so-called" organic apples measured and displayed. Professor KUAN M. GOH Lincoln University March 25, 1999 press.co.nz:80/13/99033119.htm
