what the hell, there's money to be made. we're certainly not gonna let something as trivial as possible health defects or a huge increase in consumption of pesticides and oil get in the way are we? that would fly right in the face of american tradition, FCOL. nosmokes~

America's masterplan is to force GM food on the world



The reason the US took Europe to the WTO court was to prise open lucrative markets elsewhere

John Vidal
Monday February 13, 2006
The Guardian

Just a few years ago, World Trade Organisation officials used to act hurt when described by social activists as irresponsible, secretive bureaucrats who trampled over national sovereignty and placed free trade over the environment or human rights. But that was when the global-trade policeman ruled on disputes that had little bearing on Europeans.

The WTO court's latest ruling will greatly increase the number of people who believe the organisation needs radical reform, if not burial. This week three judges emerged after years of secret deliberation to rule that Europe had imposed a de facto ban on GM food imports between 1999 and 2003, violating WTO rules. The court also ruled that Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Luxembourg had no legal grounds to impose their own unilateral import bans. "Europe guilty!" shouted the US press. "This is glorious news for the Bush administration," said one blogger.

1. Corporate America
sold this to the government so now our national policy is to force this on not only us but the rest of the world too. If there are any holdouts, they would control the food supply with non-GMO food. It is all or nothing.

PS: This was a marketing plan hatched by none other than Arthur Andersen Inc. It was to be accomplished in 20 years. (Seeds of Deception, Jeffrey Smith)
