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.
Yeah.
Have you views on chem-trails and aliens too?
Nobody is lying to you. Every agricultural product you eat has been genetically modified. Every. Single. One. Given that fact, why would Simplot, or any other company in the food industry, need to inform you that you are consuming genetically engineered food?
The FDA only requires labeling if a food raises legitimate questions related to nutrition or safe use. People who understand the science involved know that there are no legitimate questions regarding the nutritional content and safety of GMO food.
Labeling mandates based solely on an alleged consumers’ "right to know," rather than on a product’s measurable characteristics, is in violation of the Constitution.
You are not allowed to demonize a product, or to create fear about a product, unless you can prove that there is a problem with the nutrition or safety of that product.
Instead of demanding that government force industry to label their products even more than they already do, perhaps you should simply buy organic food products. The organic industry will appreciate you paying more for products that deliver absolutely no additional benefits.
