Americans enjoy GM food, why can’t Kuwaitis?, asks US official; USDA director co
”Americans are consuming GM foods which constitute a major part of their daily staple and are enjoying it and I see no reason why Kuwaitis should not be able to eat and enjoy them too,” says a visiting official of the US Department of Agriculture. Food derived from genetically modified (GM) plants is as safe as those produced from conventional sources, according to the Abu Dhabi-based Regional Director of the Agricultural Trade Office of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), David J. Williams Tuesday during a round table discussion with the press at the US Embassy in Bayan.
