Why do you hate America?
Is "America" a bunch of greedy companies, focusing only on making as much money as possible, without caring for moral as long as it is legal?
I think not. We dont hate America or american products in general. When it comes to politics, then I personally think, that economy and companies, have become a too big impact on politics. So it seems to me that companies seem to control the government and by doing so the people. While from my oppinion it should be people, that should be controlling the government, and by doing so the companies.
Monsanto as example tried to get certain of their products on the european market. For doing so, there are rules. These rules are the same for every company, trying to sell a product in the european market. The reason why the failed doing so, is not because of them being an american company. Its because of them being a company, that failed to show a scientific proven research of their products, including benefits and disadvantages. Instead of scientific studies that were necessary for being allowed to sell prodcuts on european markets, they sended a bunch of CEO, running around Brussel, and trying to negotiate into EU-parlametariars, that these research were not necessary.
There are obejctives rules for how that research has to be done. So either they dont WANT to go into eruropean market, then THEY are to blame. Or the research, done under certain rules, simply shows a results, that they dont want to offer. Then its as well THEIR problem.
Its the same with flesh industry. You are absolutely free to send us good quality flesh, and our customers are willing to pay good prices for it, as they actually do. We have nothing against american flesh in general. But people dont want flesh of animals, that have been treated in high amounts with antiobotics, hormones, and been slaughtered under such bad hygienic conditions, that the flehs needs afterwards to be infected by ammoniak, chlor or knows hell what. Every steak of an good american farmer, will be highly appreciated and payed. As people do as example for argentinian flesh as well, when it comes from beefs, that are still herded on maws.
And the reason why our farmers, dont want Monsanto is not because of it being an american company, but because of it being an company, having caused american farmers tons of trouble. Which is pretty similar to the experiences of canadian farmers, after Monsanto were allowed to go there into market. So our farmers and farmers lobby are against them, and its not Monsanto, but our farmers that we trust more. And they trust your american farmers experiences with that company. If another worldwar starts or whatever, Monsanto will not care for me to get fed. Our farmers did so in the past, and will so in the future, if we stand together.
