80 Percent of Americans Want to Label Food That Contains DNA | |
| Face Palmer Offer Upgrade  User ID: 72272384  Germany05/25/2016 04:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You might have heard that Americans overwhelmingly favor mandatory labeling for foods containing genetically modified ingredients. That's true, according to a new study: 84 percent of respondents said they support the labels. But a nearly identical percentage—80 percent—in the same survey said they'd also like to see labels on food containing DNA. DNA. The study, published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal last week, also found that 33 percent of respondents thought that non-GM tomatoes "did not contain genes" and 32 percent thought that "vegetables did not have DNA." So there's that. [link to reason.com (secure)]  Last Edited by Face Palmer on 05/25/2016 04:13 AM "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72244462  United Kingdom05/25/2016 04:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's the rub... People eat cheap shitty processed food that tastes good and is easy to prepare. They want labels telling them that they've eaten good healthy nutritious GMO free ingredients. In the UK we had a major scandal where horse meat was found to be substituted for beef in every retail outlet of processed AND fresh meat. The debate cleverly descended to the fact that there was actually nothing wrong with horse meat. The question of tractability and how horse meat was able to be turned into beef was cleverly lost. PEOPLE ARE F***ing STUPID, and have no clue how they are being played. The delusion is complete. The food industry DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK so long as it makes money. Regulations are just side stepped. When testing for DNA, the first thing that needs to be decided is what exactly are you looking for? That is how they found the horse meat. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Label anything that contains DNA, is, well, labeling everything but minerals. So basically, only salt will not be labeled. |

| Epic Beard Guy User ID: 69561889 United States05/25/2016 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UF Institute of Food and Agricultural ‌Sciences is heavily involved in GMO research. There is no way they could have an unbiased poll. They have been working on GMOs for a long time and recently started trying to make GMO skeptics look like a bunch of uneducated hicks. This poll only shows how desperate they are to convince sheeple that GMOs are safe. If GMOs are safe, why doesn't Monsanto serve them in their own cafeteria?
