U$ to ram tainted beef down Europe's throat-fight back!

In today's Washington Post was an article about U$ government efforts to force the European Union to accept homone-tainted U$ meat and geneticly-tampered produce. Congress has passed huge import duties on luxury goods from Europe(which we don't need anyway) and is going to the World Trade Organization to get the 10 year old European ban on tainted food declared illegal. Even the placement of labels on food certified free of such tampering(other than the "organic" label) would probably be held illegal, as it would stop U$ foods from being accepted in Europe(like irradiated food here).
Europeans have every right to refuse to eat poisoned, unnatural U$ agricultural products. Why is this on the Campaigns page? Because there is something you can do about it! First of all, BOYCOTT ALL US meat and bioengineered crops if you live in the US.Better yet, don't buy meat at all. Second, CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN and complain, complain, complain. Also, even more importantly, CALL FARM STATE AND CATTLE-RANCHING FRIENDLY CONGRESSMEN and tell them you will boycott US meat products untill they reverse this position. Of course,if you are vegan or vegetarian, you need not tell them that you are already boycotting them and will continue to do so even after compliance. Also complain to the White house, the State Dept, and so on. It will take a wide spread of torpedos to sink the USS Global Foodfuck. The complaint calls and letters are your torpedoes, and your refusal to buy the offending foods HERE is the warhead they carry. Farm interests will have to listen-as they did when Idaho was poised to ban abortion, but NOW sent the governor a half-empty sack of spuds that landed on the governor's desk on the same day as the bill to restrict abortion. He vetoed the bill to avert a potato boycott.
If you live in Europe, tell your government to hold firm and refuse to listen to US demands. Again, say you will boycott ALL meat if any tainted U$ meat is allowed in-and all other U$ products as well. Say this also to the U$ embassy. Remember, the WTO cannot control individual people. If half of Europe went vegan and planted gardens to avoid eating AmeriKKKan exports, there would be NOTHING the WTO OR the United Snakes could do about it.
STAND UP FOR FOOD! FIGHT U$ EXPORTS OF TAINTED MEAT!
