The leadership of the European Union took the conclusions of scientists seriously and is trying in every possible way to persuade Europeans to eat Asian rice or American corn instead of oatmeal and french fries familiar to Europeans. This issue will even be resolved at the legislative level at the end of July, when EU President Donald Tusk signs a document aimed at encouraging Europeans to eat healthy food..
