your edits on GM food page
hi Spatel2011

I see you are new here... I just gave you the standard wiki welcome. I hope take some time to review that stuff - it will make your time on Wikipedia more productive and enjoyable. I reverted your edits to the GM food article. Over the past year a group of us have been working on the entire suite of GM articles. When we started, material like what you just added, literally overwhelmed any actual content about any of the GM matters. It was really hard to see what foods were GM (as in this article), and what crops were GM (as in the GM crops article) and how it was regulated. People who are worried about GM had expressed there concern everywhere -- it was a real mess. So we consoldiated all the information about the controversy into the article about the controversy, which is linked to, at the top of each of the GM articles, and also in the "see main" link in the Controversies section. What we have done, on each of those articles, is pretty much copy the lead paragraph from the Controversies, and put that in each of the topical articles, with the link to the main controversies article. It is here, btw: Genetically modified food controversies. If you review that article, you will see that a bunch of the content that you wanted to introduce is already there. But if you want to embellish, following the policies of wikipedia described above, please feel free. Thanks again for contributing! Jytdog (talk) 17:37, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
