Open Letter on GM

Last week Environment Secretary Owen Paterson backed introducing genetically modified (GM) food production in the UK. In his speech he said there were "real environmental benefits" to the technology and dismissed concerns about its impact on human health as "complete nonsense".


The Scottish Government opposes GM foods and so our good friends over at The Fife Diet have written an open letter to the new Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse MSP and to James Withers, Scotland Food and Drink’s CEO urging them to re-articulate the Scottish Government’s opposition to GM foods.

You can sign the letter on The Fife Diet website and we have copied the text for you to read below (to follow the links please visit the Fife Diet website!).
