Scandal An Attempt to Create Food Scare

Published: Thu 11 Jul 2002 04:54 PM
"The so-called 'corn-gate scandal' is, in reality, an attempt by anti-GM activists to create a food scare," executive director of the Life Sciences Network Francis Wevers said today.
"Eco-activist author Nick Hager has rushed into publication with a book which is selective in its use of material to support a thesis that he started off with. As a result of his poor research, or willful misrepresentation, he has made allegations which a thorough investigation would not have supported.
"This is yet another example of the fondness anti-GM activists have for inventing scandal where none exists," concluded Mr Wevers.
