GM crops to be approved - quelle surprise

The UK government is ignoring all the overwhelming negative reactions from the so-called great GM Debate and is set to approve the first commercial plantings next week. This blog is very interested in the GM issue in the context of the wider concern that we call "food politics" (see Deborama's Kitchen for more information about that.) Previous posts here and here have covered the sham that was called the Great GM Debate.
