"If they didn't want to buy the products, why would it be necessary for European governments to prevent people from selling them? They wouldn't need to act against the products at all if their citizens had no desire to purchase them."

How can the people know if a seed is GMO? I buy seeds and don't know if they're sterile or not.

I envision a future in which Europeans are literate and can read the packaging on the products they buy.

By law, a package of seed must be labeled with the Germination Rate. Example: 85%,, 97%, etc.

Hybred seeds are going to have a much higher germination rate than most heirlooms. That doesn't make the heirlooms bad,, it actually makes the produce grown from the Heirloom Seed more valuable.

If they are sterile they will not sprout.

Buy mine from here every year cheap and never had one not grow and not produce guaranteed no GMO seeds .....

Why do you think the Government wants to control whats grown at your own house it's because of the stake they have in GMO's
