Best price I have found on worms is $15/lb. There appears to be no market for toads.

More emotional hyperbole. No farmer wants to soak anything in Roundup because of the expense. In fact, farmers have an incentive to use as little pesticide/herbicide as possible because of the expense.

People aren’t licking toads anymore??? I AM getting old...
Lol, if the flour or meal is labeled, then the small company knows whether what they use is GMO or not. 25 or 50 pounds sacks would be labeled just like the smaller quantities in a supermarket
And you just can't admit that Big Brother government and self-interested sellers should not be colluding to decide what consumers should and should not know about a product.
I just mentioned that for 50 years, Big Government and Big Food have deluded everyone with incorrect, and probably harmful information about cholesterol and what foods are or are not heart healthy. I ignored most of that advice as did many others because they did not believe it.
Consumers have a right to basic information about the food that is offered for sale, and there is NO reason to even imagine that a collusion of Big Government and Big Food acting as Big Brother know what the hell they are talking about. History proves they are incompetent or too corrupt to be left to decide what folks should and should not know.
Just tell us the country of origin and where it is processed and packed. That will tell us what is really important to know.
If GMO foods are mixed in, then it should be labeled as such.
Again,this shouldn’t be hard and if the people want to know the source of their food, they ought to be able to legislate for that.
The federal government shouldn't be involved with food at all, since congress isn't given that authority in Art 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
I'm against government solutions to problems. They just cause more problems.
Meaningless information doesn't help the consumer. A notice that food may have been processed on equipment that may have processed wheat, eggs, or peanuts is pretty darn useless, but it's on the label.

The problems other countries are having with these laws are pretty enlightening.
It turns out that it may be impossible to get away from GMO foods.
How valuable will that label be if it says 'May contain GMO ingredients'?
/johnny
If I were a food manufacturer that had to comply with the labeling, I would do what nut packagers do:
“This product may contain peanut by products”
All of what I sell would say “This product may contain GM ingredients” and leave it at that.
By or don’t. My product will cost less because I don’t have to research and keep records of where all of my ingredients come from.

Yeah, I guess they did all that work in the lab to make those plants resistant to Roundup just for laughs. They sure as hell didn’t waste money getting it patented either, right?
Pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilizers, and preservatives are why there are so many humans alive today. There is no way that early 1900s farming could have supported our current population.
Getting food fetishists to see or acknowledge that is another story.
/johnny
Those companies like big government just fine when they’re using it to enforce their patents and wben they have their executives installed in the regulating agencies. I’m not going to shed any tears for these guys.
Since I have no way of finding out what this food is made of or where it came from, I applaud the gov't attempt to reveal it...
Yeah, damn all of us assholes wanting to know what we’re eating and all that nonsense.
Johnny’s right on this one folks. He knows what he’s talking about.
Will someone please name a food product that ISN’T genetically “modified?”
Modified from what? By whom? By what? Nature itself modifies food, that’s how it works.
Some foods are “engineered” by companies. The commercially successful ones don’t reproduce, guaranteeing recurring revenue.
A GM label is meaningless without strong definition.
It’s right up there with “organic.”
It’s government theater.
I know what I eat. Part of that is because I grow or hunt much of what I eat, I don't eat crap out of a box, but another part is that I won't buy shrimp unless they are Gulf Shrimp. I don't want Chinee shrimp. Same with other foods.
And I do all that without using government as a heavy.
/johnny
If it takes a lot of research to find out what's in a GMO carrot, I don't want the carrot...
There is no reason we should be eating Genetically Modified Foods...The natural stuff has worked quite will for thousands of years...
The only reason for GMO food is that it puts a LOT of money into people's pockets and it trickles down to the politicians...I want to know what GMO foods are on the shelf so I can avoid them...So it's not going to cost me any more for the extra ink on the GMO labels...
The information is very useful. Free citizens can exercise their free choice and use their own best judgment about what they should or shouldn't eat. Government's past involvement in interpreting junk science and turning it into public policy (that Big Food used as marketing pitches for 50 years) that proved to be mostly wrong is reason enough for consumers to have the information themselves, and decide whether or not it is relevant to them.
Big Food and Big Government need to stop deciding what consumers need to know and just give them the product information, including GMO and country of origin.
It's just amazing how so many "conservatives" want Big Brother government deciding what people should be allowed to know on this issue, or any issue for that matter.
The advances in agricultural technology since the early 1900s have allowed the world population to almost triple. Without artificial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, a little less than 2 billion was all the world could farm for.
Which 5 billion do you want to starve?
