Inferior in every way?
I guess you never tasted our local crops. This is why they are more famous in Turkey than any imported (non-GM of course) crop.

In case you haven't noticed they are a lot of people on this planet. That's a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of pesticides to use. I'm sure those people would prefer to have enough food instead of not enough food (but the little bit of food they get tastes good). Luxury foods will always have a market. Let's not tell the millions of people in the world who have difficulty getting enough food that they must eat cake.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
