Kickoff of the UK GM food debate stayed quiet!

The debate is meant to reach out to ordinary people up and down the country, engaging the public on the subject of genetically modified crops. The first of the public debates on whether or not Britain should push ahead with GM crops began in Birmingham yesterday. But what the government is describing as "a national discussion like no other" and "a unique experiment to find out what ordinary people think",started with the absence of actual ordinary people.
