The Genetically Engineered Food Alert Coalition has pledged to spend “one million dollars or more” to try to stampede Americans into fearing genetically improved foods. A coalition spokesman claimed, “This is going to be the first sustained effort on the European model,” a reference to nanny activists’ successful efforts to shock European consumers into fearing state-of-the-art food technologies. We note that this week the European Commission called for multi-national reversal of the nanny-inspired anti-biotech food restrictions already in place.
