I find it hard to believe that Chris really approves of all of these little Hitler's from the local council demanding that Fish and Chip shops post up warnings about the possibility that their Tomato Ketchup has been genetically modified.
This makes as much sense as the law that cars have to have someone walking in front of them with a red flag. I would say that it is a grave embarrassment that the British have become so mardy about their food. They are behaving like babies fussing over their plates.
Let's say it again: Nobody has ever become ill from the genetic modification of food. This campaign is entirely superstitious. -- Jim heartfield
