If GMOs Are So Great, Then Label Them.

226. Actually it is NOT a flaw in Democracy if the majority disagrees with me. That IS Democracy.

We can't always have what WE want. But we still have the opportunity to change people's minds and eventually get what WE want. And then the minority will be unhappy. We can't please everyone all the time.

You're right, I did bring up democracy, in response to what YOU said, which seemed to be questioning the Intelligence of millions of pretty smart people who, you said, didn't understand Science.

As far as GMOs being a direct response to consumer demand, I disagree totally with that. For consumers to DEMAND something, they need to know what it is. GMOs have been FOISTED on the public mostly without them knowing.

The refusal to INFORM them is a blatant ploy to make sure they are NOT able to make an informed 'demand'. Those who ARE informed, are the ones who want them either banned or at least labeled.

Eg, I did not know that Hershy's Milk Chocolate contained GMOs. I learned that today and won't be buying it again until they remove them, which they plan to do.

And that is in response to informed consumers.

We are being treated wrt GMOs, the way a parent treats a two year old. They make decisions for them until they are old enough to make their own. Good parents educate their children so they can make informed decisions.

We are not children, Corporations have no right to make decisions as important as this, FOR us. They want us to buy their products, then tell us what is in them. Why is that so hard to do?
