There is...

SIR; I have read with interest two recent articles in The Grocer, which give the impression that GM varieties are favoured by UK farmers and that farmers will benefit from adopting these traits ('Has GM's time finally come?, The Grocer, 27 October, p30). Technology is generally accepted to have...

Ludicrous to say honey junk food
