First mainstream GM food on sale in Britain

A Frankenstein food breakfast cereal designed for children and packed with additives linked to bad behaviour and hyperactivity is being sold in Britain.

Lucky Charms, which is imported from the US, is the first mainstream GM food to go on sale in this country.

The cereal, which is being sold by Tesco, is at the vanguard of what GM advocates hope will be numerous products to arrive in kitchens here. Its use of genetically modified corn is buried in small print on the package.
