New Scientist - GM Wheat Put On Hold
"'The research is definitely not stopping', Tony Combes, director of corporate affairs at Monsanto UK, told New Scientist. 'It's not carrying on at field level, but we're leaving the door open' he says."

That last sentence scares me. My concerns regarding GM crops/food is not so much the crops/food themselves, although long-term tests have yet to be done on such things, but the fact that companies like Monsanto are the ones pushing for it. These are not people who have shown any degree of concern for the consumer in the past. At any rate, it's probably going to be a moot point because once a GM crop is used 'in the field' there is no way to stop its propogation. Look at corn and soybeans. It's extremely difficult to find crops not contaminated by GM versions nowadays. We are going to get this stuff whether we want it or not.
