Is this the same Monsanto that selectively took quotations from a National
Farmer's Union press release and put them into its advertisements to make it
look as though the NFU gives unconditional support to its activities? 8-)
The NFU's full views are set out at http://www.nfu.org.uk/pubs/gmo.asp and
the activities of its biotechnology working party are described at
http://www.nfu.org.uk/pubs/biote.asp (Strangely, the press release in
question seems to have done a runner!)
Regards,
Roger
