In a written submission to a panel of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Mexico, the top buyer of U.S. corn, argued that science proves GM corn and the herbicide glyphosate are harmful to human health and its native varieties, and that its decree to ban GM corn for human consumption is within its right.

TBF, we're not picking on Mexico, we give it to our own people too. I like that they're making them prove it's safe as opposed to proving it's harmful. That's the way to go about it.

Yes and i would not trust any food related claim from the US without data backing up it.

There's a reason why Europe has tons of banned foods that the US doesn't, we care about profits and the share holders above the health of our people (especially the poor).

The poor should just invest their money so they can afford higher quality food, duh.
