Former colonies of Europe were banned from sale unless they obeyed Europe when it came to food.

Yet Africa has seen the light. While once dominated by a rich few who lined their pockets colluding with European politicians, modern officials instead want to feed their own people. Kenya has now joined others in lifting the ban on genetically modified foods, which were put in place thanks to environmentalists in rich countries scaring people who don’t understand the science, along with politicians playing the European game.

What changed their minds from 10 years ago? Scientific reality. If things are optimal, and only poor people are starving, embracing the food process of wealthy elites can be done, but Kenya is suffering droughts. Ancient processes can’t solve that but science can. And Kenya knew it but former Minister for Public Health Beth Mugo was part of the problem, and insisted that fraudulent studies by Gilles-Eric Seralini claiming science causes cancer in rats had human implications.

Ten years later Kenya recognizes that rats are not little people, even if the result were real it was only exploratory and had no relevance to humans, and that science exists whether someone being bought off by activists claims otherwise.
