Hi Jenny,
Well you know my stance on GM but that aside I feel that these stupid mistakes do not help the situation.
I wonder which Rice you ate in Hong Kong recently!
Actually it would be nice to know. China has gone for GM in a very large way but I suppose with a billion plus mouths to feed that is understandable.
JB.
PS. By the way I couldn't find the article on the web you posted.

Come to think of it, I think it was Japanese rice we ate in Hong Kong, due to the endless hours spent in an all you can eat sushi and seafood restaurant. 8) :lol:
I'm sure I've ingested plenty of GM unknowingly as have we all, probably. I'm not too paranoid about it but I do think profit is getting in the way of caution and that worries me.
What couldn't you find? Didn't the link work for you? I just tried it again and it's working okay for me.
