My Europe is:
My Europe needs to make an effort in finding a balance between science and ethics.
If you could, what would be the first thing you would change in Europe?
The first thing I would change in Europe is the food industry’s priorities. Healthy foods should be cheaper than sugary foods and more appealing to buy. This will be the first step to prevent more people from becoming obese or getting diabetes type 2, which is proven to increase your chances of getting Alzheimers.
