are we against GMO?<br>
I don't know; I haven't seen this in my party, but I think there's<br>
certainly at least one pirate party to be found that is against it.<br>
I know that there are several problems if you want to use GMO in some<br>
areas, and if you want not to use it in others (i.e. it creates a<br>
whole new dependency, because farmers are forced to buy new grain for<br>
each generation, as the grain has to use terminator genes)<br>
That argument is likely not the problem here as you just grow fat and<br>
muscular cells in a lab that can't reproduce.<br>
<br>
Also what do you mean when you say "and similar mumbo-jumbo"?<br>
There's a wide range how one can interpret that sentence :-P<br>
<br>
Given that there are GMO I find the idea of mandatory FLOSS like<br>
regulations intriguing<br>

Of course: The idea would not be to let the livestock "back" into<br>
wilderness. That would be ridiculous. But it's not as if you could not<br>
reduce over-commercialized lifestock over a certain timespan.<br>
<br>
BTW: I think organic food has it's advantages, but also disadvantages.<br>
We could go into a long discussion here, but that was actually not my<br>
intention ;)<br>
