If GMOs Are So Great, Then Label Them.

336. Let me ask you something There appears to be little doubt anymore that the disappearance of honey

bees is related to insecticides Since honey bees are such an important part of the eco system this is a serious matter.

So let's say that producers of these insecticides did not have bad intentions, but are now aware of this development, knowing the importance of the issue.

What would an ethical Corporation do once told that at least one cause of this potentially disasterous result of the use of THEIR product?

As for reading your links, I have followed this issue for more than a decade. I'm for erring on the side of caution. There is enough material out there to demonstrate that GMOs, even if we don't agree with some of the hysteria about them, are questionable enough that millions of people all over the world, including now, EVEN CHINA, should be restricted until the concerns of many scientists and environmentalists and all the millions of people, farmers across the globe, can be satisfied that their fears can be set aside.

At the very least, do what most developed countries are doing, let the people know when they are buying food products that contain GMOs.

Meantime continue the research, we are after all, talking about human lives and the environment and let the people decide if they are willing to risk ingesting food products about which there is still so much controversy.

Afaik, Monsanto has not addressed the problem of the disappearing honey bees. Maybe they have, maybe they are withdrawing any of their products that have named as probable causes IF they do that, I would revise my opinion of them, because that would be the responsible thing to do.

I do not completely oppose GMOs, I am sure some good has come and could come from them. But we are entitled to information that affects the health and wellbeing of the population, and Corporations have shown how far they will go to control governments, previously in the Third World, where they brutalized populations for daring to do what we are now finding it necessary to do, demand the simple right to know what is in our food
