News: French activist Bove launches anti-GMO hunger strike - “French radical farmer Jose Bove, who became a worldwide celebrity for his fight against junk food, went on a hunger strike from Thursday to try and get the government to do more to ban genetically modified (GMO) crops…
“Bove said the government had promised to write a letter to the European Commission saying France would use the so-called safeguard clause to suspend the use of GMOs until scientific studies proved they could be cultivated safely.
“But the government had not sent the letter and had only suspended the commercial use of maize seeds reliant on the MON 810 technology -- the only GMO seeds permitted for use developed by U.S. biotech giant Monsanto.”
