The US represents a staggering amount of 7% of all VW cars sold in a year.
366,970 cars sold in U.S is still quite a lot of cars. It isn't about how many cars they are selling now, it is about how many cars they can sell if they manage to increase their market share.
Same way it's okay to sell other goods across the world that don't meet EU standards. But this is dodging my point. It wasn't about them being bad, which I don't agree with myself, but you reading a wee bit more evil into their statements than warranted.
He may not be meaning as such, but he is saying it. He is saying GMOs are bad for people and shouldn't be allowed into EU plain and simple, while at the same time saying poorer nations can/should be sold it. If it is as bad as he makes it seem, he should be saying "no one should eat it and there needs to be a better alternative".
Anyways, the guy obviously do not know what he is talking about and he gave me some laughs and tremendous frustration reading his posts. I commend those able to respond to him over and over in such a polite manner.
OT:
For people that seems to think U.S has a really low food standard, you obviously do not know U.S regulations and how vast the choices of food there are. The issue is more of diet, health care, poverty, etc that makes U.S living and health standards worse.
For those defending EU's restriction of GMOs please do your best to understand it has more to do with trying to prevent U.S's cheaper agriculture products out of the EU market than health standards. Plenty of countries do this and do not say there is no market for GMO foods in EU, because there is, the cheaper price will definitely make it so.
