This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Why do you think America has the highest cancer rate in the world??
It is the same reason Europe doesn't want our genetically modified foods. | European farmers plant the SAME hybrid crops as American farmers!  |
Then why would they refuse our food? We aren't talking about small modifications like you are perhaps referring to. We are talking about stuff like this: "There is a wariness in Europe about GM foods, in comparison to the US where they are more generally accepted.
Biotech crops, including corn and soybeans that have been genetically modified to resist insects or disease, have been widely grown in the US for years." --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality. |
