That charity group in the UK is looking really foolish; next time they need to find reputable sources before they speak. Embarrassing!

Unfortunately, everyone takes agriculture and farmers for granted. This world we have has been hard-won...seedless watermelon is just the latest example of this work. And there's a way to go yet, for the third world, certainly.

Ironically, coinciding with the Christian Aid release, a report was published in the French press in Montreal on frogs in the St Lawrence basin. Deformation and mutations have reached 100% in some areas. The conclusion? It seems that there are too many farmers over spraying their crops.

I think it would be a good idea for MTC to introduce these farmers to some GM products. We need to launch a 'Save Our Frogs' movement
