JOANNA BLYTHMAN: GM food and a sinister bid to twist public opinion | Mail Online

JOANNA BLYTHMAN: GM food and a sinister bid to twist public opinion | Mail Online: "As part of its drive to rebuild Britain's shattered public finances, the new coalition Government has pledged to reduce the number of bloated, expensive and undemocratic quangos that infest our public life.

One of the first for the chop should be the Food Standards Agency, a 135 million British pound drain on the taxpayer and a menace to the public. Originally set up to give protection to the consumer, it now acts as a mouthpiece for big business.

In its eager embrace of the agro-chemical giants, the FSA has betrayed its founding principle to maintain food safety."
