Science please. A mental health worker is hardly someone qualified to provide nutritional information which consumers can rely on for sound, factually based information. Are social workers the ones who label foods with calorie counts, the amount of vitamin C, or the salt content in your crackers? If they were, would you take the label seriously?

Consumer "views" or "opinions" are just fine, and everyonw should be free to make their purchases according to their own ideas and desires. But lets not mix scientific fact with the opinions of desparate housewives.

Will always be an interesting conversation although I don't know what the benefit would be to labeling Genetically Engineered crops used in food products would be. Most corn and soybeans in the US are GE as is canola. I assume going the other way and having labeling based on protocols for food which can verify that no GE crops are in them would be a better route.

Will leave the second posting alone although does give prairie oysters new meaning.

Ok so whatever parsely, 99.9% of all
processed food including most organic
that contains any form of GM gets
labelled.

Wow, what an accomplishment for the
granola crowd.

But lets look the other way at high
sodium, high sugar, high sat fat foods.
Lets focus on what doesn't matter. What
a win.

Think the public needs to be educated on how our crops grown have been genetic modified for hundreds of years now. All has been done to be able to feed the world with an abundace of high quality food.
