BRAVO Prince Charles for speaking out against genetically modified goods and urging shoppers to avoid them! For how do we know the long term effects of these unnatural products? And how can we boycott them if they aren't labelled?
These 'Frankenstein' goods are being promoted by companies with millions of pounds at stake, but the Government should insist that their products are labelled, so that we, the public, have the right to choose whether we eat them or not.
Man should know by now that meddling with nature can be perilous. The intermittent outbreaks of salmonella in eggs are caused by the unnatural and unhealthy conditions the hen has to suffer confined to the battery cage, and BSE was caused by the unnatural feeding of vegetarian cows with sheep's offal.
Work against nature and sooner or later, in one form or another, nature will always take her revenge.
So beware G M Foods!
