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. Yep, most don't want them new-fangled gene thangs in their fodder 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. For instance? Show too where it is wrong please. The best genetically modified democracy money can buy. That's nearly as good as "Frankenfoods". 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. Garbage. So that your lying scare campaigns could take effect. Freedom is by definition the ability to make choices. Only if you know and understand the facts. You lot have gone out of your way to spread lies. Show one example of GM harm. 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. Then tell the truth. If there are scary lies promulgated, there can be no informed choice, whatever information is given on a label. How would you think a food label that says CONTAINS GENETIC MATERIAL would sell after your lying nonsense? Their opposition to labelling shows that genetic engineering proponents don't believe their own propaganda. Their opposition to labelling is due to gross ignorance of the general public (free choice requires education) lack of necessity in things like oils that contain no protein, and all the lies that the greenies have spread without an iota of truth. If GE was really a good thing, the industry would be proud to have their products labelled. Not after the lies the greenies have spread. It is often difficuly to determine exactly what is in mixtures. Hence the common catch all: "May contain traces of nuts". problem with green terrorists but we have been having that for a long time Attempting to plant an association between advocates of consumer rights and "terrorists" is a transparent smear. Well they both "terrorise" a group of people. One with lies and one with vandalism. |
