The EU is smarter than we in this instance,GMO is bad juju and they also ban Bayer and Syngenta. I applaud capitalism but Monsanto is a monopoly, is evil and should be shut down just on general principle, if not for their outright lies, payoffs, bribes and bullsh@t “science”.

Isn’t Bayer a German company?

Bad juju is right!! GMO crops and Monsanto monopolizing them are very bad on many levels, material and spiritual!!! :)

I am not a farmer but I try to think like one. I grow edibles on my modest property. So I try to walk the walk in my own small way

could also been motivated to help speed up us/eu trade talks. Which has been described as a pooling of sovereignty

Monsanto doesn’t have a monopoly, they just happen to the the biggest player, contributing the most to reducing hunger around the world.

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of other, lessor known, companies who also provide gmo seeds.

As with fracking, the train left the station years ago. The most the political left can do is to try and slow things down, then claim credit for bursting food bins when they get run over by the inevitable.
