Americans literally, honestly, do not know that they exist. Which is a fantastic achievement by Monsanto, tbh.

People who care should really look into why GMOs are banned in the EU.

Because of political pressure. Trade bans aren't issued by scientists. They don't have that power.

They aren't banned in the EU.

Do you have a link to any individual nation state bans being based on scientific evidence rather than public/media outrage? Because the EFSA has been against the bans.
