There's a difference between advertising and ingredient lists. Did you not know that?Yeah, it's not like we ever see stuff advertised as "sugar free" or "hormone free"Instead of an ingredient list we should have all the things that aren't in the product....makes sense.Why not just do the inverse like with organic foods? We don't make every single manufacturer of food items list their food as "non-organic." Why can't manufactuers that choose not to use GM food to list themselves as "GM free"?I agree with the bolded. Fortunately, companies that want to cater to such people have every right to avoid using GMO ingredients and to label their products as non-GMO. So why is there an issue?Lol, mass hysteria. Label stuff appropriately and let people make decisions. It's ridiculous that scientists can genetically alter an organism and then sell it to people without their knowledge. It's possible that GMO food is and always will be 100% completely safe and is the best thing to ever happen to the planet. It's also possible that some people would prefer to be given the choice to purchase more expensive alternatives and avoid GMO, whether their rationale is unfounded or not. This seems like such a no-brainer I can't believe it's even an issue.Not wanting to give in to mass hysteria started by people who don't understand science and using GMO as a cover to hide their anti-corporatism?grateful zed said:The citizens of Washington State have voted against a bill that would have required the labeling of genetically altered foods, according to preliminary ballot results.

The multinationals invested a total of $22 million in convincing the state’s constituents they should vote against the mandatory labeling of foods with genetically modified ingredients.what are they afraid of? telling people the truth?This is not the first time tech giants have rallied against legislation that would have forced them to label their genetically altered produce. In 2012 a similar bill was struck down in California after a $45 million campaign by Monsanto and its cohorts
a setback, but the fight is just beginning my friends.
