Charles De Gaulle's Influence On Contemporary French Culture And On France's Rejection Of Genetically Modified Food, Susanna Lenore Foxworthy

These two factors are the primary reasons why the French strongly disapprove ofthe production and consumption of genetically modified food not only in their country but also in the entire European Union.
