As a consumer, I do not want to eat GM food. As a taxpayer, I will be responsible for fixing any problems that occur with it in future. As a scientist, I am seriously worried about the potential health and environmental risks of GM crops. As a father, I am concerned at the legacy this decision will leave for my children. As a voter, I don't accept decisions are taken to satisfy big industrial interests.

Bonjour

Business
After having spent long years working for telecom operators, I am now an independent consultant working in the area of submarine networks and strategy & business development (see Taho! website www.taho.fr) and I am very much involved in the commercialization of IT products.

I am also promoting various events or artists, mainly in the area of digital art.

More personal
Working hard to have the biggest bamboo forest in Europe (somewhere in Perigord), with chinese gardens and ponds covered with water lilies and lotuses ! Might take some time, it's quite a challenge (and Anduze is quite a big place) !

I am however very worried with the direction this world is taking, and with the hates which seem to exacerbate everywhere. There have probably been wars all the time during the course of history, but it just seems to aggravate and to generalize. This world seems to become crazier every day, which is a daily concern, especially when I look at my son and wonder what his life will be.

I have the feeling that there are some very important things that we miss in our short lives, so I would like to be more active in a few other areas :
- art, as I am trying to help & promote some contemporary artists
- ecology as it is extremely worrying to see how the men can destroy so quickly the only real value that we have in this world
- human rights and support to developing countries... which is a big task, but it is the responsibility of everyone to bring its small piece : small springs make big rivers !

Last but not least, I am strongly against Genetically Modified Organisms. Men should be more humble and realize their knowledge is very limited, and shouldn't play with our health. I think it is a fundamental freedom to be able to decide which kind of food you want, and I am not willing to expose my son to additional cancer risks. The issue is, as there will be some GMs in almost every kind of food, we won't even have anymore this basic freedom!

Nice and interesting people.
