(34,648 posts)I already know which foods i can't eat. Monsanto doesn't know what i am allergic to. Most people with allergies can eat what i can't and can't eat what i can. It's my body, my decision what to put into it. If they put food out that's cross bred with, say some berry or something that wont harm most people, my throat will close up. I have about 15 minutes before i'm lacking enough oxygen to cause brain damage.
Sometimes i can eat one food in a family, but others i can't. Don't know why, makes no sense. Doesn't matter to my body. It doesn't care if the only known case of GMO causing reactions has been abandoned. And monsanto will produce peer reviewed articles in court to protect themselves. I care more about me than they do.
This fight to allow a company to NOT label food is strange and scary. They should gladly label the food and swear by it's safety. But they are afraid to label. That makes me afraid to eat it.
If they are worried that people won't buy because they hate the name Monsanto, they need to clean up their image and work on the issues people have with the company.
Corporations always tell you that their product is safe and that they are doing due dilligence, but sometimes they lie. It's our jobs as consumers to fight for what we want. We want labels. If labeling kills your company you don't need a company. You need a better product that people will still buy even if it has a label on it.
