Not so much.

[PeterPrinciple]

It’s pretty crappy that they obviously feel compelled to lie-by-hiding-information to keep people buying.

---

I have a solution, lets put government in charge of our food system. that should work..................

[PeterPrinciple]

let us as customers decide if we want to buy it.

---

We have the best/safest/most choices in food than ANY TIME IN HISTORY.

Lots of people like to complain with their mouth full. GO BY THE STUFF YOU WANT, STOP COMPLAINING.................

You want non GMO, then buy organic, again, stop complaining.

You want PERFECT FOOD, sorry, never has been available and never will be.

[apoliticalone]

To clarify are you suggesting customers, be it at the grocery store or at McDonalds should be thankful for what they have, and have no further rights to know or select what they put in their mouth or where it came from?

Because that’s what the food producers want. They want carte blanche right to feed you anything from anywhere and they want the right to keep it all a secret.

[cableguymn]

wait... there are potatoes in their fries?

who knew?

[PeterPrinciple]

Repeat, we have the best food system in the world with the most choices. Use your choices and stop complaining with your mouth full.......................

Everyone wanted a perfect health care system and complained because it wasn’t perfect. We had all kinds of choices for health care. Well guess what, the govt fixed it................................

[AustinBill]

Is GMO is so good, why wouldn't the "manufacturer" proudly label and advertize these products as such? Clearly a bit of advertizing legerdemain would have Mr. and Mrs. Consumer clamoring for GMO products, no?

Or perhaps that might expose the advertisers to some truth-in-advertising inquiries? 'Tis a puzzlement.

[livius]

urr...why? The human race has been genetically modifying every plant or animal that it came into contact with for about several thousand years.

[PeterPrinciple]

They want carte blanche right to feed you anything from anywhere and they want the right to keep it all a secret.

Then don’t buy their product, buy from the source you like. You have choices, use them.

But what you really want is someone to fix the problem so you don’t have to think and be responsible for yourself.

Almost all the USA canola and soybean oils are from GMO beans and seeds, unless they are organic. Not sure about the safflower oil.
But very happy that they won’t add GMO potatoes to the insult.

[CodeToad]

Prove you know nothing? that’s EASY! It’s YOU!

haha

The levelof garbage said about GMO is the same level of nonesense given to any conspiracy theory.

[CodeToad]

Excellent grpahic. Some people are worried about GMO but have no idea what is actually in their fries right now.

[driftdiver]

You sound just like the global warming people. You just know GMO is good because the people selling it tell you so.

But then its what we’ve come to expect from you.

[driftdiver]

“We have the best/safest/most choices in food than ANY TIME IN HISTORY.”

So why throw GMO and cloning into our food supply if we already have all that?

[driftdiver]

Repeat, we have the best food system Constitution in the world with the most choices freedoms. Use your choices and stop complaining with your mouth full when your betters make decisions for you.

[driftdiver]

Kinda ironic this whole story is about a BUSINESS making a choice which its customers support and yet you are against consumers making the choice.

[PeterPrinciple]

how many tiMES do I have to say it. use your choices and go buy organic food, IT IN NON GMO.

[driftdiver]

Thats just it, you GMO people are refusing people the CHOICE by REFUSING to label GMO products.

Cmon get your lies straight.

[PeterPrinciple]

So why throw GMO and cloning into our food supply if we already have all that?
