No price too high for a GM-free Europe
Maize growers in Italy, France, Germany
and Austria lose an average ten percent of their harvests each year,
just because governments won't approve any seed production technique

contain higher levels of cancer-causing mycotoxins, and their fields
require more pesticide applications. I bet you thought Europeans wanted
to reduce reliance on imports, didn't like agricultural chemicals, and
considered consumer health a top priority. If you did, you're wrong.

Even so, there are others who seem stranded in a nightmare realm, where fact and fantasy play equal roles. But which are which?

Trees attacked, research destroyed
With the exception of a few aberrant, probably psychopathic, idiots,

hundred and seventy experimental apple trees in Germany, and with them,
a decade's worth of research.
