Reaction to WWF
In fact, the WWF statement that Miss Roscher refers to, is 100% self-contradictory:
"WWF’s position on GM organisms includes: A moratorium on use or release of GMOs into the general environment until ecological interactions are fully researched and safeguards put in place"
This implies a moratorium on GM soy. However, WWF continues to say: "WWF believes that the RTRS cannot be effective <...>, unless it applies both to GM soy and GM-free soy. As stated clearly on its website, the RTRS process is inclusive of all soy production methods, including conventional, GMO, organic, etc."
Therefore, WWF accepts GM soy; and not only that, it will certify GM soy as 'responsible' to consumers! We wonder if WWF is as confused as we are.
