...other citizens in developing nations whose governments will not allow them to produce or eat genetically-modified crops. Such crops might provoke a few allergies in Europe, but they can save thousands of lives. If you are reading this with your morning cereal, you already know genetically modified grain is safe. The E.U. knows this too, and it’s time for it to stop allowing starvation when the alternative has proven so cheap, safe and tasty...
