I think she views GMO as a solution to some global problems. For instance if we're going to help starving people in Africa, sending over wheat seeds that can't grow in an arid climate isn't going to help them. Of course you do. there are other solutions than screwing up the food chain

To be honest I think a lot of the GMO flap is overblown. I'd be much more concerned with excessive use of antibiotics and hormones in proteins. I am concerned with that also

As for labeling, I like as much information as I can get about my food, but remember from a business perspective this can add tremendous cost...i.e. more government regulation. I thought you didn't like that? I never said that I was against any government regulation, that is silly. I am for common sense regulations that protect people just like liberals want protection. Labeling GMO is not a hardship on industry, just look at how many already label their organic stuff NON GMO And also why do you think the rest of the world labels GMO? They don't have a problem labeling it, why should we?.
I'll stick with my opinion of her backing that corporation with their poison GMO and Round up destroying the water supplies and smaller life on this planet.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
