The tobacco industry fought to keep Surgeon General warnings off cigarettes and that is what Monstersinto and the food industry is doing now: claiming there are no proven dangers. They spent $$$millions in Oregon and barely squeaked out their selfish wish.
Too many people are falling for the 'It'll cost more to label and the products will cost more' campaign. Ask yourself: How many times have I seen a package that had, in prominent lettering, 'NEW LOOK! SAME GREAT TASTE!', or labels saying 'gluten-free!', and '0 grams trans fats per serving!'? Were those labels always on the packaging? Did the prices hike? NO! The industry WANTS us to see those bits of info and are prompt to add them to the packaging as trends dictate.
They shouldn't bother. They'll just higher an image corp. that'll come up with something like: 'Proudly Made With 100% American GMOs!'
But GMOs are already everywhere. Monstersinto knows what it's doing. It GMOed alfalfa, a major crop for cattle feed...so the GMOs get into beef. It GMOed sugar beets, from which most of this country's sugar supply comes...and sugar's everywhere. It GMOed corn, a major crop for oils and syrups and sweeteners, AND the basic crop for hogs (pork) and most other livestock species. It GMOed soy beans: think of how often those are on nutrition labels. And and and IT has GMOs nearly everywhere...except on labels:
It's the one place they SHOULD be!
