When I first saw this article I said to myself,
now let's see how the 'Glutenoids' cope!!

But then on reflection one wonders what effect this will have
on the price of other grains ??
.
Will GF grains become so expensive that
GF Food will be beyond our reach ??

The solution is to develop new wheat varieties that are immune to Ug99. That's much easier said than done.


Is that really the only solution possible? What about planting other crops that are already growing (rice, quinoa, sorghum, millet, etc) instead of waiting for new strains to be developed and tested? Diversify! (I know, I know, preaching to the choir here).

I betcha anything, they will GM the crop *again* and find more and more people allergic... just like they did after the 70s when they had modified the crop once more.
