    You perhaps enjoy embellishing history as you go along.

    As I read, in the 90's, Sask. Flax were the ones who had Triffid gathered up and crushed. They knew what the EU wanted to buy. GM flax was not on the list. Sask Flax read the EU's marketing specs and then complied with the request.

    You want the Europenas to begin to eat, to experiment with what biotech invents! Is that a good strategy, I ask?

    I travelled in the Neatherlands and in Denmark and in Sweden and in Germeny last summer.

    The store shelves are stocked differently. They actually want to buy DIFFERENT products and eat different products than we do. Their labels really do reflect a difference.

    Organic is desirable. Even Organic makeup is desirable. Organic food is a given.

    For example:

    Breakfast in the hotels all four countries was consistent:

    Granola, piles and piles of fresh fruit, dark heavy rye, whole wheat, triticale, flax etc. fresh warm breads. boiled eggs. Whole grain hot cereal. various bacons Real juices.

    Canadian breakfast in the last hotel stayed in Winnipeg, Manitoba.... Danish made with white dough and piles of sweet filling, fried hash browns,fried eggs, white and whole wheat toast, dry cereals, bacon, oranges.

    Different approaches. Europeans EAT differently...not just what tastes good, but for nutrition. They are fussy! NO FAT KIDS!

    Should we spend money to preach at them to convert them to novel foods, say, or just supply them with what they want to buy?

    Q What makes FARMERS the most money?

    A Repeat orders from satisified customers.

    The Basic Eyeball Test:

    Take a look at our school kids. When a buyer comes to Canada, do our school children leave the buyer with the impression that our food is so good they want to buy it for their children?

    I really noticed EU school children, yes I did. Pars
