I actually think it is more fair for it to be up to the FDA to decide. The reason companies don't want labels is that people then assume the product is unsafe.

I actually think it is more fair for it to be up to the FDA to decide. The reason companies don't want labels is that people then assume the product is unsafe. Here is an MIT study finding exactly that for GMO labels: http://courantblogs.com/capitol-watch/gmo-labels-send-a-message-that-products-are-unsafe/ http://courantblogs.com/capitol-watch/gmo-labels-send-a-mess...
- rogerbinns 13y agoThe FDA decides if a product can even be sold. So what if truthfully labelled products are considered unsafe by some? Why shouldn't people be able to make up their own minds? The freedom that allows them to do that also also means sometimes they will be wrong. Again, so what? Sweeping it under the rug ("trust us") is not adequate. You do not foster understanding, science, progress or freedom by hiding things.
