Letter: Verdict on GM trials

Sir: As an American, I applaud the actions taken by a group of English men, women and children at Lyng. As long as our governments continue to support the interests of transnational corporations which have taken over our food supply, the people they were elected to serve have little choice but to take direct, non-violent action.

I am just ashamed that the citizens of my country did not take to the trial fields four or five years ago. Now millions and millions of acres of these crops are growing across this country.

These crops will be processed into food and forced, through "trade agreements", down the throats of any people who don't stand up and take direct action to stop this madness.
