As a consumer, I deserve to know the truth about what is in the food that I purchase and feed to my family. If putting a GMO label on the food that has it, leads consumers to still purchase that, it's their right to do that. My question to you is, what harm is there in that label?
- dfxm12 11y agoA label on your food isn't necessarily the truth. If you want want the truth, you really have to take that responsibility for yourself. The government is not good at labeling organic food[0], and there is no reason to believe they'll get GMO labeling right, since the same issues are involved.

- gregd 11y agoI am skeptical of nutrition labels, so what you're saying isn't lost on me. However, much like putting the nutrition labels (or ingredient lists for that matter) on food, GMO labeling is a starting point.
- dfxm12 11y agoMisleading labeling (like there is with organics) is worse than no labeling. What you end up with is a product of questionable quality that is more expensive than it should be because someone has to pay the inspectors.
