I just want to know what’s in the box - everything from growing to packaging. then I can make an informed decision.

That's easy, find a group of like-minded people on the internet and use community-sourced information.

They informed me on the box,

There's no reason for the government to require any information on the box because that will just spur bribes of politicians by rent-seeking corporations. You can't fix that by your dinky protest and calls to your politician. What needs to happen is ending the government monopoly on "food safety" and nutrition that they do such a terrible job at.

You can't fix political corruption in overreaching, oversized government by making it bigger.

I’m not asking the government to require labeling. I’d like business to understand their various customer needs and accomodate or losethose customers - again as I stated in my recent situation with Breyer’s ice cream now “frozen desert”. They changed some thing, I verified through the company they were indeed adding corn syrup to the flavors I liked, so I no longer buy that brand. I’d like business to play fair and say what’s in the box they are trying to get me to buy. Just as people with severe allergies can have sudden death from ingestion of a ingredient - the rest of us can be subject to slower death from ingestion of chemicals not listed or so bizarely listed you can’t exactly tell what it is. Sure one can research the heck out of each and every item - but a Good Business would try to accomodate customers they want to sell to, not make things harder for them.

I’m not wanting bigger governemt as you think I am. You quickly judged me and You are Wrong. It seems you labeled me in your mind due to the article I posted, not who I am.

My understanding of the GMO protests is about monsanto and it’s actions toward people. Monsanto should not need or accept government covering it’s butt with protections. If it were a truthful company it would distance itself from govt protection, do right by it’s products, or suffer consequence by the actions of more people avoiding their products.

I don’t beleive I’ve ever said I wanted govermnemt to tell them what to do. Do you like to make stuff up just to have debate or try to be right?
