If the factory global farmers and food processors like Monsanto have their way with us, we will have an unfree market and opaque labeling without GMO or country of origin. The only information on the label will be Corn or fish from global sources.
My own view is I want to know what is in my food and where it originates. Too many in Congress are in the bag. Let the free market decide if it wants to buy GMO or Chinese fish.
If there’s such a big market for non-GMO food then those who grow non-GMO food would label THEIR products as such; the fact is that these folks and the organic industry want to force their competition to bear the burden of labeling.
There’s nothing at all wrong with GMO food, in fact it can and will save millions of people from vitamin-deficiency that causes blindness, etc., in the case of just one crop- golden rice.
Maybe you should look at the materials you’ve been reading because you sound like you have been sucked in by Fenton Communications, the same communist-founded PR [or rather, anti-PR] firm that initiated the alar scare to hurt Washington farmers and the milk hormone scare on behalf of Ben&Jerry’s. Another of their clients is the Sierra Club.
David Fenton is behind much of the GMO propaganda as is the European Union which is protecting its agriculture lobby.
