Letter: Sainsbury hits back

Sir: Sales of GM foods in America are booming. Hardly surprising, when there is no labelling, no specific legislation to control them, and the biotech industry is effectively running the country.

Sales of organic foods in Britain are booming ("Consumers rushing for organic food", 8 March). Hardly surprising, since we are beginning to realise just how poor our food quality has become.

With a little help from their friends (in the Government), farmers in Britain could become part of the organic trade success story.

Why is our Government backing a foreign horse?
