France Takes a Stand Against GM foods - They BAN it
PARIS, March 19 (Reuters) - France's top legal authority on Wednesday upheld a government decision to ban commercial use of the only genetically modified (GM) crop grown in the country by rejecting an emergency injunction filed by the pro-GM camp.France issued decrees banning the use of MON 810 maize seeds in February after a government-appointed committee said it unearthed new evidence of damage GM products could inflict on the environment.
Ecologists and ordinary consumers hailed the ruling, but seedmakers, including MON 810 creator Monsanto, and maize farmers lodged an emergency injunction in an attempt to overturn the ban.

Can't argue with that logic.
Good for them! I wish the United States would do the same and also ban hormones in our food as well. I would much rather have high quality tasting food then this bland stuff we are served in our stores. Perhaps this could start a trend in the EU and then spread to the States as well.
Do you realize that most vegetables have been genetically modifed?
Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and many others were derived from cabbage.
Carrots have been modified, their so "natural" color is dark purple, close to black, they were modified to be orange.
Then there avocados, navel oranges, how many different varieties of apples are there??
Corn used to resemble wheat and the list can go on.
Humans have been messing the what mother nature provided for centuries, this is nothing new.
Maybe the US should ban genetically modified food and destroy crops in the fields.
Let starving people die, just don't give them GM food.
Do you have some sources for your info Anonymous?
