this 'article' is so short it can barely be considered that; additionally, it contains no factual information over why europe is wrong in denying the crops, other than the fact that people who are supposedly radical are saying its bad, so therefore their reasons or opinions are worthless.

To say that oh, well we don't know that it will hurt people, and I feel ok after I eat it, is ridiculous! humans have a reproductive cycle of a minimum of 15, but average 25 - 30 years for each new generation of offspring. that means that inorder to study the effects in humans we would have to wait around 40 - 60 years, with close monitoring on those ingesting the organisms, for us to know if it really has an effect on us. Do we really want to risk our grandchildren's fertility and health so we can produce more food for us to waste? Currently, we produce enough food to feed everyone adequately - we just don't distribute it evenly, so America has an OBESITY epidemic, while there are thousands of children starving.
