There are many reasons to decide not to consume GMO food.

My gut tells me I shouldn't, and as everybody knows, MAdison Avenue exists exclusively to get us to make purchases based upon gut feelings.

So what's wrong with labeling GMO food? If GMO food was so wonderful, they;d have 48 point fonts screaming it to the world.

Labeling is not banning. I'm the consumer so it is my money, it is my body, my choices TheKentuckian Jul 2014 #13

Actually, it does affect other people. jeff47 Jul 2014 #14
