Anonymous Coward User ID: 27708534 United States 11/15/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some products that have no GMO's are labeling so. It would be good if all products that do not contain GMO would label so. Then everyone would know if it is not labeled then it contains GMOs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17036978 Check out Amy's Kitchen products labeled NO GMOs. [link to www.amys.com] It would be to their advantage to do so. People who don't want to eat GMO foods would buy their products for sure, and so would others. I buy Conoco gas because they have a sign that says it contains no ethylnol (may not be spelled right). |

If, the manufacturers of this do not wish to label their products, fine. Then why not the other non-gmo manufacturers take it upon themselves to label their products as NON-GMO. Basically if these non-gmos corporations label their foodstuffs as such then that would be just as good. If done correctly a good marketing firm could pull it off, and in the process make millions. I know if I were a foodstuffs supplier I would label my stuff as non-gmo, just to throw in monsantos face. |

wisc_natureboy User ID: 27668390 United States 11/15/2012 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to the list on the website, the following should be labeled as GMO. It seems to me, as others have suggested, it would be far easier to label products with no GMO ingredients. Might even be easier just to hang a huge label over the Grocery store sign as it looks as though all prepared foods are now poisoned. :( From OP's link: SHOULD be labeled: Anything that contains: NON-ORGANIC corn, NON-ORGANIC soy, NON-ORGANIC canola, NON-ORGANIC cottonseed and/or any of the derivatives made from them. Animal products (meat, dairy, eggs) that are not organic can contain genetically modified hormones and were probably fed GMO food! Most chemical additives to food are made from GMO corn and soy. Sugar! Much of the sugar in the US is made from GMO sugar beets, including brown sugar. Here is a partial list of high-risk ingredients:Corn Syrup Corn Starch Corn oil Cornmeal Fructose Dextrose Glucose Soy meal Lecithin Isoflavin Tofu Soy Protein Isolate TVP (textured vegetable protein) Vitamin E Xanthamgum Tempeh Vitamin B-12 Baking powder MSG Yeast extract Modified food starch Vegetable Oil Cottonseed Oil Canola Oil Aspartame Food Colorings We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26075182 Like the Indian farmers who beat the crap out of a Monsanto rep, in a field, who went to India to "explain" why India lost ALL of it's rice crops (their main staple) this year because of a bad batch of GM seeds. The farmers whupped this guys ass and put him in the hospital while he was trying to "sow" his propaganda. We should do the same. They saturate the parks, dog parks and kids playgrounds with Roundup constantly here. It's Phoenix, and it's all stones with maybe a lone weed now and again. The Parks and recreation and town council (it's the town of Surprise) all ignore my bitching. One more thing that proves the government on all levels doesn't give a crap about us or our health.
