10mnts Post- Task 2 p108: Summarise the interview.

listening Key:
The interview is about the types of food consumers prefer buying.
According to the market researcher, the preference goes to organic foods
for two main reasons. First, they think they are safer to eat than both
GMFS and conventional food. Second, GMFs have received bad publicity.
For the market researcher, the issue of whether or not GMFS are safe to
man’s health and the environment has not been settled. So the debate about
GMFs is likely to continue in the future.
