In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: When it counted most, Hillary sided with the vultures [View all]ConservativeDemocrat
(2,720 posts)86. In other words, you're against Senator Warren too
Judging by the fact that even she can't meet your leftist purity standards: "I am for 'honest' labeling to reveal when GMO's are being slipped into our foods."
Because even she's not for GMO labeling extremism.
Warren makes her request for national GMO labeling guidance in the form of a one-page letter, also signed by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), sent to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg on Aug. 22. The letter calls for the FDA to finalize a draft document it issued in January 2001 and to implement a regulatory framework for the standardization of labeling policies for GMO and non-GMO foods.
In particular, the FDAs 2001 draft guidance calls for food manufacturers, should they choose to identify foods as containing GMOs, to use statements that explain how the food was modified through genetic engineering and avoid the phrase GMO free for foods that have not been modified. The term GMO free may be misleading for most foods, because most foods do not contain organisms (seeds and foods like yogurt that contain microorganisms are exceptions), the guidance explains. It would likely be misleading to suggest that a food that ordinarily would not contain entire organisms is organism free.

It's bad enough that Democrats have to fight Republicans. It's twice as hard when we have to fight anti-Democratic leftists, who do everything they can to unite the opposition and divide allies.
Democrats really don't need a Tea Party of the left. And just FYI, there are more self-identified conservative Democrats in the Democratic party than there are "Strong Liberal" Democrats, so lets' not have an intra-party election any time soon about which end of the party should be "kicked out" (made ineffective), as you have so many times in the past have stated is your goal. You might end up surprised if there were.
