There's a fair bit of research about gmo corn to animals and its not good. Actually very unhealthy.
Every country should be able to control for themselves what they use and don't use. So yeah, I'm with Mexico on this one, even if it's trade protection.
Says the country that still uses lead in pesticides
Not that surprising when you see they spent 1.2 billion on the stuff.
Raccoons ate lots of my corn crop
Fucking pests.
They got mine last year also. If I get hungry enough, I'll plant corn and invite the raccoons over for dinner
Ban soda while your at it, el presidente
In Mexico, there used to be strong landworking middle class. They had a saying "sin maiz, no hay pais" or "no corn, no country".
When NAFTA was passed, it opened up the Mexican market to US agribusiness. It flooded their marketplace with cheap food. Small Mexican farmers, who had a workable business model found themselves out of work. The "wink, wink, nudge nudge" of NAFTA was that the US would allow for the trickle, then flood, of illegals into the US as a consequence.
It's worked out well for the elites. I wonder why the change from the Mexican side.
