b) I think GM foods are a good idea. I think they can solve the problem of world hunger, help the environment and reduce the use of chemicals and pesticides on crops so they are healthier.

c) Many European governments struggle with their attitudes towards GM foods. On the other hand, there is so much research that shows how much benefit they can be to society. On the other, the newspapers and TV are full of emotional language that is very anti GM foods. People are worried about the environmental impact of GM crops and some are actively campaigning against any form of GM. Because of this, most governments are waiting for public opinion to settle down before they make any public comments at all.
