GM Foods

As the world population grows and food prices rise it is high time for Europe to review and relax its GM constraints.  They have little to do with science and much to do with emotion and the hysteria that followed the initial clumsy marketing of early products.  Plants that can resist disease, repel insects and need less water to grow are to be prized.

Conventional grain need 1500 litres of water for 1 kilo of produce.  Ten times more for meat.  I guesss flowers will have to be the first to go.
