DAMN that’s an ugly woman. Her face is so stretched, presumably from “lifts,” that it almost appears to have surgery seal on it, the “wrap” that they use to cover the skin around an incision site like during knee replacement surgery.

GMO food and food byproducts are good and good for ya'. Stuff labeled 'organic' is probably loaded with dangerous pathogens and might kill.

Then there's BARLEY ~ it has a particularly powerful peptide that triggers celiac response and yet FDA and USDA and the label laws let folks call it MALT.

The most recent product labeling exercise now has restaurants telling us how many calories there are in our hamburgers but neglecting to indicate the carbohydrate content of anything ~ there's no health value in knowing calories without knowing carbs!

Which gets down to this ~ the labels are no longer meaningful and do not address the needs of people with REAL problems. They continue to be misleading.

Aren’t all plants genetically modified? What is the problem again with eating genetically modified food?

“Sen. Barbara Boxer says she is co-sponsoring the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act in part because, with 26 states trying to pass legislation requiring said labeling, it makes more sense to have a uniform federal law.”

Progressivism in a ‘nut’-shell... To hell with States’ Rights. To hell with individual responsibility. Just more, more, more, and more big gubmint meddling where they have NO mandate, and NO Constitutional authority.

It’s time to take back the country.

No worries, Monsanto will figure out the recipe for Soylent green soon, once all the bees are gone.

I for one would like to see this labeling. That way I can make the choice of what I want to purchase and consume.

"It's like highlighting everything in a textbook," said Ken DeVore, California legislative director of the National Federation of Independent Business. "Nothing's highlighted when everything's highlighted."

He is exactly correct. The Monsanto types of this world LOVE legislation like this because it gives them cover and lumps everybody in with them.

There is a vast difference between a GMO that simply changes the harvest date (Zaiger does this with fruit trees) and one that embeds a toxin (such as Bt corn). This is a situation that screams for PRIVATE certification and labeling, where the third party then becomes responsible for the assessment and information provided. Of course, that price for risk management would then be add to the cost and the product could then compete with the "heirloom" variety on an even footing. The system provides incentives to both competitors regarding the distinctions that make their products attractive to customers.

This kind of labeling is already starting to happen. The big guys don't like it. THAT is why Babbsie is jumping in on it.

Label should read:

“Thank the lawyers for running up your food bill”
