Well stated, Rob Tucker and Greg. Not all anti-GMO people would necessarily be against all GMO. If, say, there were an ethical company that came about who actually did ethical business and did not take chances with people's health, ecological health, or the world's food supply. If that were the case, maybe we wouldn't be fighting to have GMOs labeled because the ethics involved would be much more trustworthy. But I don't see that happening.
For now the GMO giants are an arrogant, massive company who considers themselves above the rules and beyond reproach, just slamming around the planet doing whatever they want, paying people off if they stand in their way. Some governments say, "Not here, there's the door". Others say, "Ahh, what can it hurt, here's the keys to the city!" I'd rather we be one that says, "Prove it's safety, meet these rigorous standards, be honest in your labeling, or go peddle your wares elsewhere".
Was stoked to see that in the HSAC, Lin!
