Just a small comment from one who has infiltrated the other side, haha! was
at a conference of wheat breeders recently and one presentation was from a
biotech nut from novartis, when she was asked what their plan is about
Europe and their refusal of engineered foods, she basically shrugged and
said she thought they'd come around--of course she wasn't marketing but a
little indicative of the attitude of the people in those companies-alot of
them don't take european resistance seriously, but i believe they will soon.

GMO seeds aren't necessarily easier to grow, they just make bigger "better"
( as an ecologist, I put this in very big quotes!), more disease resistant,
etc. etc. plants
