VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I'm exceptionally mad and also really sad because the European Union turns out to be not of the people, by the people, and for the people anymore. Instead, it's now against people's health, and for corporations and billionaires. [...] It has started that the European Union has allowed GMO crops here in Europe...
[...] We Austrians, the majority of the population, are against GMO crops. [...] They say here to justify this decision -- why they are allowing this to happen -- is that for pigs, it's important that they have a high protein source. In Austria, we do not have enough soy growing on the fields, so we are importing the genetically modified soy.
But this is actually only half of the truth because the other side of the coin is that they are producing more pork than we can eat here in Austria. So actually we are exporting a lot of pork to other countries, and they just want to make a profit...
This is really scary!

What unscientific nonsense. It couldn't be that GMOs have only helped crops have larger, more reliable yields that help feed people. It must be that GMOs only exist to make the rich richer. "Phobia" is a fitting term for this.
