I buy and eat Organic produce when ever possible out of choice.
If the goverment's new proposals become law I may be eating GM produce whether I want to or not.
I don't buy "factory" produced meat so why should I have to buy "chemical" grown vegetables and bread?

I do too Daff but its not always available and when it is some people just can't afford it, it's so much more expensive than the other stuff (I say stuff because it all tastes exactly the same - bland)!

The other stuff will be contaminated too. The proposals will effect non-organic produce too. Basically any cross-pollination from GM crops will be allowed upto a set level. Any contamination upto that set amount may not have to be labelled as containing GM.

That's exactly what it is Daff - contaminated. Who ever listens to us, the consumer, anyway!! :evil:
