Almost half the British population would be willing to eat genetically
modified food, suggests an opinion poll commissioned by CropGen, a panel of
academics lobbying for agricultural biotechnology. 鈥淧eople are not as
antagonistic as opponents make out,鈥� says Vivian Moses, chair of CropGen. Of
1007 respondents quizzed by the pollster NOP, 46 per cent would eat GM food, 50
per cent would not and 4 per cent were undecided. Almost two-thirds of men said
yes, compared with 39 per cent of women.
