>Snipped quite a bit of below message. I do not think the GM food
producers can ignore persons who diet forbids certain foods. This group
most likely will not be swayed. Its only in the past week in various posts
that the issue of "pure" food due to religious reasons got me thinking. I
had already thought and felt sorry for the person who say is allergic to
nuts and reads every label etc. Then bites into some totally nut unrelated
food and has a allergic reaction. Anyone who is strict about there diet
either allergy or religion has probably already for years been a very
careful consumer. I think this is a group to be reckoned with. Consumers
who know what the want to spend THEIR money on. Someone said it before
"isn't the consumer always right?" These consumers will go elsewhere,
organics, CSAs, co-ops etc in search of their food and I can't imagine they
are a tiny group. I just found this very interesting. I was wondering is
there such a thing as a kosher garden, kosher CSA etc? Beth
