Interesting post. The only concern I have is knowing or not knowing what I am buying. Hey I really could care less if a company sells seed that allows a farmer to grow corn in the dead of winter. Farmers can grow anything they want (that is legal of course ;-). My concern is being told what is in my food. Oh I know...the labeling will cause panic and people will go crazy because of misinformation.

I remember when the tobacco companies were required to label the warnings about tobacco products on the package. People kept on smoking because they could care less about the warnings. I think the same is true with food. The label will be put on the food and a lot of people could care less. There are all sorts of warning labels on medicine. People still use them.

I guess my thought is that so much money is spent on anti GMO labeling campaigns. Over $57,000,000 was spent in California and Washington alone. Feed the Children sells a box of food for $19.00. It will feed a child for one month. Do you know how many months of food that is? Over 3,025,000 boxes could have been purchased using the same amount of advertising money. All of this to keep three letters off a container of food or an ear of corn. Just tell me what I am eating...Better yet, you better not. My doctor would have a fit!
