These are the bastards that are harming the US’s reputation. Selfish people in our own gov’t and business.

[wideawake]

It would be nice to know what a “GMO” is.

[Maceman]

I looked to the article in vain for any inkling of what a GMO is. What are we talking about here?

Did I skim too fast and miss it, or am I just the last to know?

[bill1952]

Every single crop since the first snatch grain thrown down by Homo Erectus is a GMO.
For the EU green enviro nuts to protest is nonsense.

Every single domestic animal, including dairy cows and every breed of dog & cat, and all of the rest are genetically modified.

GMO = Genetically modified organism

[opentalk]

An organism whose genetic characteristics have been altered by the insertion of a modified gene or a gene from another organism using the techniques of genetic engineering.

Genetically modified food

[Mike Darancette]

A genetically modified organism.

[aft_lizard]

Genetically Modified Organism.

The EU countries have been crying over what they perceive to be potential health dangers. none of which have ever presented themselves since GMO’s have been entering the food chain over 4 decades ago.

[bill1952]

Genetically Modified Organisms, aka, anything that they want to define as such.

[wideawake]

Further research suggests that a "GMO" is a genetically modified crop. In other words, there is a European cartel organized against the free trade of innovative American agricultural goods and the US ambassador seems to feel that a European embargo against American products should be met with some kind of economic retaliation.

Should America's policy be to bend over and accept Europrotectionism?

[wideawake]

I see. So in other words the source website is a forum for environmentalist nonsense.

[AlmaKing]

Shall I take my product and shove it down your throat backed by gov’t threats?

I’m in business myself. This is just bad business. They don’t want to buy, tough sh*t.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Great! About time they defended American interests.

[AndyJackson]

am I just the last to know

It appears that you are at least second to last since I also had not a hint of a clue what they were talking about.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

They are conspiring against the US economic interests. If the EU cartels want to make economic war on us, let them expect retaliation.

[Jumper]

This is exactly what the US should be doing, e.g., acting in America’s interests. Surprise that might just happen with the Obama dude in charge is the only surprise here! Of course, this may be a core campaign contributor to the Dem’s and hence this administration actually acting in “America’s Interests” internationally.

[opentalk]

Monsanto’s interests

[FTJM]

Yep, Monsanto’s interests...
