I’m sorry but anybody who gets to fish for a living is not a slave.

If there’s such a big market for non-GMO food then those who grow non-GMO food would label THEIR products as such; the fact is that these folks and the organic industry want to force their competition to bear the burden of labeling.

There’s nothing at all wrong with GMO food, in fact it can and will save millions of people from vitamin-deficiency that causes blindness, etc., in the case of just one crop- golden rice.

Maybe you should look at the materials you’ve been reading because you sound like you have been sucked in by Fenton Communications, the same communist-founded PR [or rather, anti-PR] firm that initiated the alar scare to hurt Washington farmers and the milk hormone scare on behalf of Ben&Jerry’s. Another of their clients is the Sierra Club.

David Fenton is behind much of the GMO propaganda as is the European Union which is protecting its agriculture lobby.

Slaves Used To Catch Fish That End Up On U.S. Tables

Slaves used to do a lot of things. Does this mean that 150-year-old fish are ending up on U.S. tables?

Yeah, it's YOUR fault, not the muzzies who actually enslave them.

No one in power or media cares about real slavery and atrocities.

But they obsess over fake ones.

Nor did I.
But I tell you a little history. home to a very leaky refinery, across from LTV Steel, upriver from the lake. It positively oozed oil.

I spent earned money on interrupting the flow of oil into the river with a series of pumps. The crud we brought up was sold to a local asphalt company.

Just when we thought we had a corner on the project, more oil would flow onto our land from an adjacent property.

The past few years have seen a marked reduction in oil moving into the water.

Cats and tuna go together like dogs and pizza crusts. We have five, and the second they hear the can opener cracking open the Chicken Of The Sea, it's bedlam. They look like a pack of rats on a bag of Cheetos. LOL We have to use five saucers, or it gets ugly.

If it smells like fish, Mr. Nancy Pelosi must be somewhere close!

I like tuna too. You can tune a piano, but you can’t tune a fish.

Would this qualify the fish as being an “organic” product?
