Voters are being misled on GM foods

APART from genetically modified foods, I can think of no area where voters in this food-producing country have been so misled and so let down by the Government.

Our political leaders know that GM foods cannot coexist with conventional or organic foods. Cross-pollination will always happen and cannot be reversed. It has been proven time and again but, incredibly, the Government still wants us to try it.

By refusing to allow GM foods here, Ireland has a wonderful opportunity to become one of the major acceptable food producers for the whole of Europe.
