It is not hard it is just stupid.
A lot of very fine foods are already full of these products, like corn and soya. Yet, you cannot lay a single claim of harm.
So, just stupid organix business and their tiny rice bowl is the only opposition. And they act like this is a giant threat.
And to label GMO is anti-competition FEAR. It is designed to drag folks to faltering Organix World, of low yield. It is so backward, and only tiny few buy into it. It is a ploy to prop up Big Organix.
But, you can panic anyone. That is not lawful. It is against free trade. So, NO LABEL.
would that be before or after the "great kazoo"..

I just want to bang Betty and Wilma. You can have the kazoos.
Thank you for making my point. I'm talking about the Canadian case, which is where I got that information.

I speak very loudly with my wallet. I only buy non-GMO or Organic products. I'm quick to send feedback to store managers about my buying decisions, and I'm seeing more & more "Non-GMO" products show-up on the shelves every day. Cheerios are just another example. Like it or not, here we come...No GMO!

I shed blood in a cop riot, in front of Monsanto, while you were in the Nam.
I don't own their stock, but would...do they pay dividends? That is a very good idea. Thank you.
Absolutely, Monsanto canola. We're talking about the very same case, Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser.
From the Wikipedia article: "The case drew worldwide attention and is widely misunderstood to concern what happens when farmers' fields are accidentally contaminated with patented seed. However by the time the case went to trial, all claims had been dropped that related to patented seed in the field that was contaminated in 1997; the court only considered the GM canola in Schmeiser's 1998 fields, which Schmeiser had intentionally concentrated and planted from his 1997 harvest."
And another selection: "The case is widely cited or referenced by the anti-GM community in the context of a fear of a company claiming ownership of a farmers crop based on the inadvertent presence of GM pollen grain or seed.[SUP][13][/SUP][SUP][14][/SUP] "The court record shows, however, that it was not just a few seeds from a passing truck, but that Mr Schmeiser was growing a crop of 9598% pure Roundup Ready plants, a commercial level of purity far higher than one would expect from inadvertent or accidental presence. The judge could not account for how a few wayward seeds or pollen grains could come to dominate hundreds of acres without Mr Schmeisers active participation, saying . . .none of the suggested sources could reasonably explain the concentration or extent of Roundup Ready canola of a commercial quality evident from the results of tests on Schmeisers crop" - in other words, even if the original presence of Monsanto seed on his land in 1997 was inadvertent, the crop in 1998 was entirely purposeful.

Cheerios! Now non-gmo!
warning: may contain GMO
That's from the op article. So if I were you, and don't want GMO foods, do not buy any form of Cheerios.
Also from article: only regular Cheerios affected(though may contain GMO). All other Cheerios types will proceed as normal.

I'll read it when I see it on the label, then I'd decide to buy or not. Either way, this is a huge step in the right direction for a major company......more to follow..
