Marc: I’m a staunch atheist and also staunchly anti-GM. I’d encourage you to read the following document, particularly the “Don’t we need GM to feed the world?” section near the end:

http://www.mutatoes.org/b001-whatswrongwithgm.php

In short, aside from the massive environmental dangers, GM crops take control of food away from people, and put it even further into the hands of corporations. People are starving not because there isn’t enough food available (mountains of it go to waste every day) but because they cannot afford to buy it or to support themselves thanks to inequitable distribution channels which place corporate profits before the needs of people, and a global economic system which keeps things this way.

We don’t need GM crops to feed the world – we need corporations to have considerably less power, not more. GM is at best an exercise in corporate control – especially because once it is here, it can never ever be got rid of.

(I’ll try to remember to check back here, in case you wish to debate this further, though I haven’t been checking MWW quite as much recently as I used to, and it’s not an environmental blog anyway so I guess this is all rather off topic!)

I found a veritable storm of protest at the Daily Mail’s website (presumably this is where Green found out about the exhibit). As per usual, it seems, the Mail speaks with Christian tongue and edits out anyone who dares to disagree with them. It saddens me in this day and age that we have a (overtly respectable?) tabloid that fills the minds of vulnerable people with such bullshit as creationism and anti-GM campaigns. I know this is OT, but I’d like to send their editors to some country where GM is feeding millions of hitherto starving people and demand to know what’s so wrong with it.
