EU 'broke trade rules' on GM food
The European Union acted illegally in stopping imports of genetically modified foods, the World Trade Organization has reportedly ruled.

blah blah

Anti-GMO protesters said that this meant the report would have no impact on EU policy .

"It is clear that the US, Canada and Argentina will not be able to use this ruling to bully other countries to accept GMOs," said Eric Gall, political advisor to environmentalist group

1. GM foods should be outlawed, period.

Cloning, which is a separate issue, is going to eliminate genetic diversity in our food supply.

Now put the two together and our overweight problems will be a thing of the past because what doesn't kill us will eliminate our food supply.
