Default Re: Genetically modified bananas

GMO is illegal in Norway, and I am unshure about the situation in the EU.
Even triploid fish in aquaculture is illegal, wich apparently does more harm than good. (In the US, many aquaculture species are triploid) I have yet to hear a great reason for not supporting GMO-products. An american lady won the Nobel Peace Award years ago for her work involving GM on corn. This work helped developing countries a great deal. Offcourse, we all want what's natural, but it's easy to let feelings come before facts on the GMO-subject.
The big question I was wondering about, is how to save the cavendish banana without GMO.
