Unless you're powerful enough to make choices against the will of others. There is an interesting series of wikileaks from European embassies showing American pressure on wide acceptance of GMO. It seems a lot of money and effort went into this. See for example this one: https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06WARSAW107_a.html https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06WARSAW107_a.html > 8. (U) Spirnak's second lecture took place at the American Studies Center at Warsaw University. Approximately 20 students and faculty attended the lecture. Again, the students did not openly object to the idea of consuming GMO's but did reflect the typical European mistrust surrounding the issue. They asked about the purpose of altering the genetic structure of food, in what is essentially a "if it's not broken don't fix it" argument that is commonly made in Poland. In other words, people are relatively happy with the crops and want to keep it that way. Then Americans come and are pushing the technology they're controlling down people's throats, reporting the results of their campaigns via diplomatic channels. People refuse, saying they're happy with what they have. Efforts continue - this time on EU level rather than lobbying individual countries.
