title: [Rejection of gene food in Europe is not rational].
abstract: Europe is prejudiced against the use of genetically modified (GM) crops, but is this rejection based on rational evaluation? A reference point is often neglected in the risk assessment of GM products. Conventional products, for instance foods, are not risk-free. The risks connected to gene technology are still not new.
