Buy genetically unaltered seeds. Grow your own food. Only thing you can do. This stuff is only going to get worse likely until they accidentally release a genetic time bomb that kills us all.

yeah that makes a lot more sense then passing a label law

ok so what your saying is don't ever let your children eat at a restaurant or the school cafeteria etc.... gmo's are in 90% of all the food in the market.

Labels and the resulting outrage are the only way Kelloggs is going to stop using gmo corn in their cornflakes, mcdonalds to stop feeding its cattle gmo corn, wonder bread stop using gmo flour....... etc.......etc.......

We shouldn't have to live in a bubble and grow our own food just so some bullshit chemical warfare company can continue to control our food supply

Under the theory of democracy, laws are only passed when a majority of people believe it is a good idea. If the majority of people dislike GMO foods, and they actually put their money where their mouth is, their collective action will have long ago changed the habits of the food producers. Use the profit motive to force companies to make the change. It's far more effective than trying to use the government. Laws are easily avoided. They can't put a gun to anyone's head and force them to buy their product. Seriously, quit being such a fucking sheep. 95% of Americans have been convinced that government is the only way to solve their problems. It's pathetic.

Your right I'm just being lazy.
I'm writing the 30 different products that are in my lunch now to see if their research and development divisions can shed some light on if fucking GMO poison is in any of it.

That's what everyone should do when they eat something they didn't grow from heirloom seed stock right?

This makes way more sense then wanting a law

wonderful, this is the result so far:

As of right now the FDA has no definition of GMO ingredients. Thus without no definition there is no foundation for me to construct an answer. I can say there may be and may not be, but until we have something to stand on, it is very hard to answer this question. All the FDA has acknowledged is that they have accepted the genetic modification of about 40 different plants for various reasons. I am not trying to cloud the issue, but until we have a complete understanding and a very specific definition and guidelines, I really do not have an answer.

Thanks

^so your shit out of luck

Yeah, I'm going to come home from work and spend 3 hours doing a research project on the content of my food.

If you ever want a peek into the mind-boggingly retarded brain of a Libertartarian, read a full Orruar or Hailto post.

Except that two posts ago, you claimed to have not read the entire post. Do try and at least pretend to have consistent and logical thought flowing through what you call a brain.

You are posting on a message board on the internet. Certainly this means you have heard of something called Google. If GMO is such a huge problem, certainly there has been quite a lot written on the subject and obtaining the information you seek will not be difficult.

Out of curiosity, what's your science/technical background dredge?

I'm just a guy who has an interest in nutrition. I was a professional Chef for many years. I managed a High School Cafeteria. I traveled to Mongolia as a consultant and Chef instructor, where I opened a upscale Western Restaurant and trained the staff of about 12 restaurants. etc....

I'm currently an IT student studying Information Assurance/ Network Security at a local tech college.

I don't have to be a scientist to care about what is in our food or what my family eats, and I don't think it takes a genius to figure out that there is a correlation between GMO and rising health issues like cancer and allergies.

So I chose to get informed on the issue,
