Two bits of news I found today show doubts across the world about genetically modified crops.
One is from China - the world's most populous, and single party State. Apparently, they have bowed to public opinion and banned imports of genetically modified soybean variety -

The other story from the United States, is a second discovery of unauthorised genetically modified wheat, which has caused several Asian countries to temporarily ban imports of wheat from the United States.

Forget that GM crops may be quite safe - just watch the price signals. W.A. farmers seem to be doing this - after five years, only 17 per cent of the canola crop is planted to GM varieties.
