| Date | 22:18:45, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Epicurean Party | To | Debating the Food Regulations Act |
| Message | We are in favor of articles 1 and 3. We feel that GM food is ultimately no different from most "conventional" foodstuffs, which are the result of centuries or millennia of genetic modification through selective breeding. Therefore we find Article 2 to be unnecessarily restrictive. |

| Message | Thank you for the compromise. This new coalition looks to be making actual progress! |
