Would you please also cite your source for the "62% market share". The
pro-GE hype at the farmjournal.com site says that the Europeans are so
anti-GE because they've lost faith in their govt. to protect them and their
food sources (Mad cow disease, etc.) And your figure doesn't seem to jive
with the overseas attitude towards designer foods...
Thanks
