I like it. I wish we would do more of that here. In fact, I ONLY buy organic fruits & vegetables. I don't like the mucky wax that coats regular apples. The funny thing is, at this particular point in time, the organic is the same price as the regular (that's not always the case), so why NOT buy organic?
It's nice that you have the choice, based on dislike of wax. In Africa, on the other hand, millions are dying of malaria and malnutrition because of this chemophobia that is infecting Europe. The EU is imposing trade sanctions on African countries who dare use pesticides and genetically engineered grain.
But, hey, better than dying from AIDS or hacked to death for being the wrong tribe. What's a little famine, as long as France's farmers aren't harmed by foreign competition? The problems of Africa hold little interest for Old Europe.
I vaguely recall an African country - last year, I think - that refused a huge humanitarian donation of grain because it was GM. So, it's not just the EU who is turning down GM products. Even starving countries in Africa are turning them down.
Nobody wants the GM grains, so maybe they were trying to get rid of their excess by foisting them off on Africans, who also don't want them. People are afraid of GM products at this time, because we really don't know anything about them.
You can't really blame Africa, but it does seem a shame that the grain was GM, instead of normal grain. What kind of a gift is that - a gift of tainted grain?
