This brightens my day.
France has told the European Union to stop Monsanto from selling their genetically
modified MON810 corn to member nations! This is because the ecological minister of France (great man) has read studies that show that GMOs pose a significant environmental risk (duh, welcome to the party).
This is awesome. Let's hope the EU takes their request seriously and are responsible enough to see the evidence, and protect the health of their environment and citizens by banning these crops!
"In addition to contributing to erosion, pollution, food poisoning, and the dead zone, corn requires huge amounts of fossil fuel - it takes a half gallon of fossil fuel to produce a bushel of corn."
