If “the French” are the only EU country opposing these deals, than “Suck it up, Buttercup”—the French are free not to consume those products….What angers me most about French selfishness in this area is what that greediness does TO those developing countries (keeping hundreds of thousands in poverty who, if such trade deals were passed, could actually have halfway-decent lives)….But, hey, THE FRENCH know BEST….

@bcdaron ….As all produce is clearly LABELED as to country of origin, the imaginary “problem” you refer to is easily solved by simply NOT BUYING produce you deem to be “beneath” your culinary standards…. And it isn’t S America I’m referring to, but AFRICAN countries (whose governments have LONG complained about EU protectionism vis-a-vis shutting out their small farmers)….The “reasons” you give are rubbish (as the vast majority of small African farmers have been growing healthy produce for centuries—usually without the use of pesticides)….It is simple, naked protectionism & selfishness which causes FRANCE (once again) to place its epicurean palates ahead of improving the lives of the desperately poor….
