Right, that’s it. No more paying through the nose for sun-dried tomatoes. I am boycotting Waitrose and I urge others to do the same. I am not buying my groceries from a company which has caved into the unscientific balderdash coming from the anti-GM lobby. Waitrose has just announced that it will no longer use GM feed on its farms.
I am not usually one for boycotts, but the only way anyone is going to defeat the anti-GM brigade is to play it at its own game. Britain should have been a world leader in GM technology. In the late 1990s we had the minds to develop and grow it. Instead, it was squashed by scare stories spread by environmentalists, who claimed that GM food was going to give us cancer and lead to the countryside being gobbled up by cross-pollinated superweeds.
