So I chose to get informed on the issue,

So should everyone. Educate yourselves. And don't be fooled into thinking the government in any way, shape or form has the average food consumer's best interests at heart.

and this is just the tip of the iceberg, this poison is in practically everything here in the states:

then you got to worry about what the animals were feed that your consuming, the milk, etc...

I started researching and corresponding with a bunch of dog food companies in my quest to get my pup a non GMO food and I eventually had to buy a premo kibble made in Canada to escape GMO's. The dog food is made by Champion / Acana/ Orijen if anyone is wondering.

and you can't just google it, like the one company that I corresponded with explained to me, sense the FDA won't define what a GMO is here in the states they don't know or won't tell.

look at these so called health food companies that are against it because they use GMO's

Kashi, Silk, Gardenburger, Naked.... these co's are poisoning us under the guise of being health conscience

[dredge]

good luck shopping on your own, without labels your pretty much screwed

I would be willing to compromise and instead of putting things like corn or soy, companies that use GMOs have to put "corn" and "soy." i.e. with quotes around them.

So why not use this image as a starting point on which companies to boycott and which to support? Seriously, if GMO is a big deal, enough people will hit the companies where it matters: the bottom line. If business sees that it is more profitable to avoid GMO in their products, they will act accordingly.

Here's a free million dollar idea for you. Start a company that comes up with a GMO-free label. Require food producers to prove to you that their food is GMO free before putting that label on their food. If people truly care about GMO, they will seek out this label on foods they buy.

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.

Perhaps not to show correlation. But to show causation is a different beast altogether. We live in a horribly complex world, and it would be a difficult task to show what you believe. Make no mistake about it, your hatred of GMO is based on belief, not on fact. There's nothing wrong with that, but you have to understand it and you have to understand that pushing your beliefs upon people makes you no better than the bible thumpers who would love to outlaw premarital sex if they could.

If you can even do the research project, it's not like the companies are going to willingly give up the information.
