The point about companies owning rights to certain types of foods they have invented is an interesting one, specially if the old types of free range foods as it were die out. That could take - oh I dunno - a century? But those companies do exist and they're ready. I saw it in the X-Files I think so must be true.

Well if this is what we need to produce some decent super heroes I?m all for it. Decades of buggering about with nooclear bombs and toxic waste haven?t, despite what ream upon ream of comic book suggests.


Minotaur Man may be just what the world needs.


If we?re lucky we may even get some of those women in spandex with the improbable breasts.

I guess it depends on the stock it was cloned from


If a normal cow then more then likely nothing, you won't notice any difference in taste or quality (you may even think you have eaten it before in some weird deja-vu feeling)


however if it is from GM stock, then god help you !!!


My suggestion is just sit back and enjoy the deja-vu feeling

Jays - if we are going to ask that for EVERY headline! ;-)


I stand by by statement re: health risks. I doubt there are any of any significance


But introducing something to the food chain you can't control IS inherently worrying - not just from a health perspective (the Mail's angle) but about who controls it


Good food (as opposed to fuel) is also at risk - having every steak for the rest of my life EXACTLY the same or even homgienised partly makes me all kinds of bothered

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
