Around 30 people have staged a naked protest against GM food. The protesters spelled out "no GM" with their bodies in a meadow at Forest Row, East Sussex.
Organiser Mike Grenville said he hoped it would send a message to the Government of people's concern, particularly over commercial planting of GM crops.
Mr Grenville, 51, a self-employed business consultant from Forest Row, said: "I think people were very pleased to have the opportunity to express how we feel, how frustrated we are about what seems to be the foregone conclusion, and the question many people are saying is 'What do we do next?'.
"We hope others will follow our lead and find other ways to express how we feel.
"We do not want GM crops planted in the country at all."

I have 2 things to say:
1.If your going to protest nude, get your asses in shape so I don't have to see how flabby you are
2.Whatever attraction to white girls that I had before is now gone thanks to you!

Okay, spelling out slogans with naked bodies has to be the world-record Most Stupid Idea. (Most Stupid Execution of Idea Award still goes to the Paki who managed to set himself on fire lighting a US flag though.)

and naked environmentalists are sexy!" /yuck
Seriously, Penn and Teller did an episode of Bullsh!t about GM foods and it was very eye opening. Basically, they showed that if the tree-huggers would leave things alone that the GM foods could ensure that there are no starving children in any country. They talked a bit about
Norman Borlaug and uncovered the myths behind the whole GM controversy. They also talked to a few hippies and showed what idiots they were. Everyone should click the link and read about Mr Borlaug because he is truly a great man.
