Did you “want to know” a few hundred years ago when Maize was made into modern Corn?

Simple question: Why are these businesses so opposed to labeling their products? They spend all kinds of money opposing ballot referendums in states such as California and, this year, Oregon.

So it wouldn't cost them directly to do so, yet they spend so much money to lobby and oppose against mandatory GMO labeling. Put two and two together, and it's not hard to figure out that they think telling their own customers the truth will cost them business. It's pretty crappy that they obviously feel compelled to lie-by-hiding-information to keep people buying.

Just about every food we modern humans eat today has been genetically modified from what our hunter/gatherer ancestors ate many millenniums ago. From the corn and wheat to the cows and pigs (and yum – bacon) it’s all GMO. And thank goodness for that!

And most people who are against GMO’s don’t even know what it means or can’t rationally articulate why they are against them.

Yes I was and yes I did.

The Free Market is saying we want to know. Why are you against the free market?
