Hawaii Senate panel to consider GMO labeling

[rainyjim]

Guess what the foods you want labeled were transformed with - of thats right transgenics. Hence my point before that transgenics is a more specific term than the more vague 'genetically modified organism'

Transgenics can potentially create something that is harmful but so can conventional breeding. Think a trisomy of chromosome which can create a birth defect that results in aborting before birth. Hence my assertion that transgenics is no more or less 'safe' than conventional.

I am not arguing with you that 'GMO' foods should or should not be labeled. I'm just pointing out what we have learned from using transgenics and how you can apply that to an understanding of what that means for the food that you eat.
