Maui GMO protest

[4antares]

Can't see the harm in labeling GMO products here in Hawaii. That way those who care can avoid them, those who don't can just ignore the sticker.
As far as the science goes, any scientist will admit that "scientifically proven" really only means "as far as we know today" and that could change at any time. We simply don't know enough yet. GMO's haven't been around long enough. And we've only begun playing with genes. Just because what is done today appears safe doesn' mean it will always be so. I can't help but be reminded of the huge number of pharmaceutical drugs that have been scientifically proven safe after testing and retesting that turned out to be any thing but once they were out of the lab for a while. And if Monsanto et al are so absolutely certain their products are safe why are they busily spending millions lobbying for laws that will exempt them from liability if their products are found to be unsafe at a later date? They aren't certain either. Or they wouldn't be fighting so hard against something as simple as labeling. They would proudly support the GMO label.

life is short. enjoy it
