The debate will focus on genetic modification and will feature Michael Green of the Soil Association and Dr. Majid Katme of London’s Islamic Medical Forum and a member of the GM Freeze campaign.

It turned out to be a really interesting discussion - on both GM and food in general. Contrary to popular belief, there’s lots that Jews and Muslims can actually agree on! …that we don’t need Genetic Modification is just one of them.

Too bad that not all Jews can agree on this. I hope the Orthodox Union (US) and office of the UK Chief Rabbi will think about revisiting this issue.
