The US public is still accepting them with no real problem.


The US public is largely unaware that they are consuming them.
That's not acceptance, it's ignorance.

In the greenest
part of the country a vote on and anti GM law lost 3 to 1. We have some


That result was bought with over $6 per vote of out of state money
spent on a blitz of deception and scare tactics.
The best genetically modified democracy money can buy.

That law was not anti-gm, it only required that the consumer be allowed
to know what they're getting so there could be a free market.
Freedom is by definition the ability to make choices.
If there's no labeling, there's no choice, if there's no choice, there's
no freedom. To call this a free market is a fraud - it's a rigged market.

Their opposition to labelling shows that genetic engineering proponents
don't believe their own propaganda. If GE was really a good thing, the
industry would be proud to have their products labelled.

problem with green terrorists but we have been having that for a long time


Attempting to plant an association between advocates of consumer rights
