RE: Preparing for what?
They are used much less in the UK than in the US and Canada. But with mass produced supermarket items, many of the manufacturers of bread find it's cheaper to import the GM crop and use that for bread production. Same as how a car is made from parts all over the world, as it is with much of the food we eat.
For example, the typical strawberry we eat is a species call La Santa, which are pretty tasteless when compared to any other strawberry. They are not GM, but they are a manipulation of our natural eating.
Tomatos that we eat have been blasted with CO2 to turn them red so that they look ripe, even though they usually aren't.
