GM food-free Italy

Good news for those passionate about good food, and bad news for those big corporations that are trying to convince us that genetically modified food is good for us. Italy is GM food-free and will be in the future. At a conference yesterday, a vast majority of Italian parliamentarians and senators with different political views all agreed on this crucial issue. Giuseppe Politi, president the Confederation of Italian Farmers, said: "Agriculture does not need GM crops. We need to defend our bio-diversity and high quality food and produce instead" (Source: 'La Repubblica' newspaper).
