Lobby for a label.
To clarify - I am neither pro GMO nor anti - GMO.
I am for common sense.
Look at GMO in the same way tobacco has evolved in the last 75 years or so.
My mother had articles from her youth - as in the 30's when the tobacco companies came to the high schools to promote smoking. Even magazines and newspapers carried print ads that extolled the recommendations of doctors to smoke a particular brand.
Now fast forward to today. No more print ads. We now have ads with people speaking thru holes in their neck, radically deformed by invasive surgeries to remove the cancer - caused by them smoking. Despite all the legally mandated warnings, and all the evidence - we still have people who smoke.
So that all being said, why is labeling - just labeling - food with its contents such a big deal?
Clearly, GMO everything is here to stay - no matter what.
So why not just label it. Like a pack of cigarettes?
