  • Consumers,Clones and Concerns

    The Food Standards Agency research findings that consumers do not support animal cloning for food have been widely reported, (apart from in the farming press, bizarrely), and both the findings themselves and consumer reactions to the reports merit pause for thought. The research is thorough, and the...

  • Ethical Purchasing and the Credit Crunch... Continued
