US to push GMO's in WTO, ..you will eat these er else!!

January 11, 2003

Don't you know there's lots of caish in it for these scumbags to push

frankenfood at us. But I tell ya what: you pro-GMO folks buy the stuff and

feed it to your families and let the rest of us have the non-modified stuff.

Robert Zoellick, the Bush administration's chief trade official, is

calling on the U.S. to challenge the European Union's ban on

genetically modified food. Zoellick claims the ban is both

scientifically backward and " immoral, " arguing that it deprives

starving people in the developing world of food. The U.S. and the

E.U. have adopted polar positions when it comes to GM foods. The

former says such food is not only safe but also an important tool in

the fight against world hunger, while the latter is broadly

suspicious of GM crops and fears that agribusiness is promoting them

without adequate concern for potentially negative environmental and

human health impacts. Zoellick says he lost patience with the

European stance last year, when Zambia refused to accept genetically

modified food from the U.S. to help fend off famine. The White House

plans to decide by the end of the month whether to bring a case

against the ban to the World Trade Organization.
