| Message | We must think of the consumers.. The consumer should have the choice whether they want to buy products with GM ingredients in them - the market will then adjust itself to the consumers! This is the heart of capitalism! The consumers must be in power over the market. Coorporations shouldn't have free play to mislead the consumers. |
