Dear Sir/mam,
       I     have recently watched your show on “genetically modified food” and     I was extremely upset 
     and angry that Gm food will be coming to Australia.
     One of the things that Andrea Ulbrack said, and I agree with, is that “Besides     the Impact on 
     human health there is deep anxiety about is risk to biodiversity.”
     Not only will Gm food effect us humans but it will kill the very land     we live on. It will create a 
     supper weed and could effect land use as we     know it.
     There is no turning back all that we are doing is killing ourselves for     example, we will estink 
     some major plants (less food for animals) animals     will die without food (less food for Humans) 
     human get extinct without food     and the world will be a mess because of man.
     The point I am trying to make is that we don’t need Gm food, what     is wrong with the plant and 
     animal life we survive on?
your faithfully
Letter 2:
AGAINST
Dear Sir/mam,
       One     word “Yes” Gm food should be used “Yes” we need it “Yes” it     is a need not a want!
     This will be one great leap to man and his kind, world hunger will be     no more!
     People will be able to afford food for their familys in country like     Africa, India, ethopea and 
     other countrys that are less fortunate then we     are.
     If other farms are away from Gm farms then there are no worrys, this     product will not effect 
     or polite the earth atmosphere it wont even hurt     the surrounding forms as long there is good 
     distance.
     But I suggest that their should be special farms in special areas for     Gm food so there is nothing 
     to complain about.
     The most that could happen is a weed and how hard is it to got rid of     a weed? If carrots can 
     make Gm foods they can make a spray to get rid of     the weed!
        Yours     fathfully
