The Independent has an article about the UK government privately assuring UK supermarkets that it’s OK to continue selling rice from the USA that has been contaminated with Genetically Modified rice. So consumers in the UK can now secretly be forced to eat GM rice when they have chosen not to. All to please the American corporations…
Contrast this with the Swiss supermarkets who have withdrawn the rice in question and will not stock it again until the manufacturer puts in testing equipment to ensure this cannot happen again.
Market forces, in this case against GM food, can only work if the consumer (I prefer citizen) has sufficient information to make an informed choice. Hiding the GM status of food is the worst sort of fraud because it hits at individual citizens.
