Something I found silly... we recently had a law we could vote on in California. It would have made food companies obligated to print on the labels that they use Genetically Modified ingredients. Right now they don't have to and none do.
We voted it down. People here would rather save a couple dollars on their grocery bill, than know what does and what doesn't have GM shit in it. And this is California! Ahh... ignorance is bliss.
It's arguable that it would raise prices at all... but that's what the food companies commercials on the subject would have you believe. Also arguable that GM foods are bad in any way. I'm not necessarily saying they are bad... but I'd at least like to know what is and what isn't.
