Why the fear of GM Crops?
"David Kendra" wrote in message .net... "Jim Webster" wrote in message ... "Oz" wrote in message ... Jerry writes I hear and read that the European Union has safety concerns about growing genetically modified crops and the food produced from them. But I never hear details. So here is the question. What are the SPECIFIC fears of the European Union in regard to genetically modified crops? 1) A paranoid population. (really) 2) A useful trade blocking mechanism. 3) they are introduced by American Companies Actually several of the leading companies are European based, but the major US player, Monsanto, is who most people associate with regarding agriculture GE technology. Dave exactly. If GM had been pioneered by ELF or some other French company, they would be compulsory in the EU by now. Jim Webster |
