2. Another reason why I want to know if it's GMO.

A simple addition to current labels.

"...the longer APHIS fails to regulate the GMO crops, the more the environment will face damage, including transgenic contamination of nearby crops, pesticide drift, and endangerment of protected species."

That's putting it lightly.

In talking about Climate Change we tend to think about energy companies. What about the massive amount of pesticides we dump on our land? The mass extinction of animals we are causing? The disease from these unknown chemicals added to our water supply?

Simple GMO plants are not bad. The way they are grown and the legalities behind them certainly are.

Commercial agriculture is an evil business these days.
