    This is a proposal right? Not something that’s actually in place.

    This happens every few years, and they also happen close to elections.

    I’m not saying that this isn’t dangerous, but these people send these proposals because they use it for their election campaign. They look like they want change, and they then blame too many votes on “not themselves” that it didn’t pass.

    I’m no so scared that this goes through, anyway.

      Hummm, does TTIP and CETA rings a bell? If not, let’s just say that during the covid pendamic the EU parliments signed CETA behind ours backs allowing transporting good between canada and EU. Sure TTIP itself was not signed (yeahhhi thats a win… Or not?)

      But that doesn’t matter because the only thing they wanted was a trade deal with the American continent It’s TTIP with extra steps…

      So right now we will propably have meat and vegetables full of GMO’s, pesticides, and meat fully loaded with antibiotics, vaccines…

      So If I where you I wouldn’t count to much on

      “They look like they want change, and they then blame too many votes on “not themselves” that it didn’t pass.”

      They wan’t changes when it benefits them and their agenda ^^.

        I see your point in everything you say, but GMOs are not dangerous at all and makes crops use less water, makes them more nutritious, more resistant to pests (which means you don’t need pesticides as much) and can even be used to let rice be richer in vitamin D, which is essential for some places in Asia.

        Go after all the other things, no problem. But stop eating the GMO propaganda. Eat the GMO products instead.

          That’s not the point, eat what ever you think is good for you. We are not going into arguments that’s out of context. That was just an example out of my memory on how they pass things without our consent or when they see any benefit for their own agenda not for the common good. (Still personal opinion, think whatever you want)

          But whatever… I’m just a random on the net 🤷

            I know it’s not the point, and I don’t really disagree to it either. You’re right that they do have malicious intentions. I just swept it away, because they will be outnumbered. But it’s still concerning and you are right to point it out.

              👍✌️

              Edit:

              I shoud have left that part out:

              So right now we will propably have meat and vegetables full of GMO’s, pesticides, and meat fully loaded with antibiotics, vaccines…

              That’s was maybe a too personal opinion were the conversation can easily get heated quickly (where ever your stand is on that subject) and is out of the scope of the actual post !

              So sorry about that :/.
