Monsanto gives up fight for GM plants in Europe

[CapnAwesome]

Does anybody on here know if Western Europe can actually feed itself? I know that most European countries are massive food importers. It's fine to take some moral (although for the life of me I fail to see the moral angle against genetically modified food) position when you can just import the same food from the US (the worlds largest food exporter, also by far the largest supplier of food aid for the world. The US provided 100,000,000 tons of emergency food AID in 2011 and the rest of the world provided about the same) I don't how people can feel so high and mighty about this anti-technological position when it's how most of the world is fed.
