US/EU & Biotech You know there are a lot of things Bush does that I take issue with but in this case I have to definately say I'm with him in say that the EU can be stupid and irrisponsible world citizens. A little background with the problem: EU has banned genetically altered foods (yet isn't that what we've been doing with selective breed for centuries?) because they want to preserve their cultural heritage. But of course they can't grow enough to feed themselves so they have to turn to other countries. But they've banned gentically altered foods so they can't import from any of the large plentiful countries like the US or Canada but instead buy from little struggling third world countries in Africa. The Irrisponsible aspect comes in because the people in control realize they can make more money selling the products they grow to europe rather than use it to feed their own people. Also because these crops are so important (and could risk contamination if imported grain was used as seed) they refuse any aid from countries that produce way more food than required (US and Canada namely). Thus the EU is dirrectly responsible for starving people in africa because of their own stupidity, arogance, and inability to feed themselves. The ironic part is the FDA is the most powerful food and drug safety administration in the world, while things like the sleeping pill that cause massive birth defects was approved by europes safety agency it wasn't here, mad cow disese ran rampant in europe it never even started here.
