How can you be so sure? It is microscopic and below statistical significance this Organic Farmer thing.
And aren't you worried you are sending money to Germany and China? It is already sold out, according to some.
Don't you wonder if you are being mind fucked by the Stupid Hippies, again?

You do know that's how most farmers were doing it for thousands of years?

Fruits ripened on the vine taste way better than those sprayed with chemicals which ripen fruit on the trip to the store.

Don't kid yourself, Monsanto owns organic facilities and organic seeds as well.

You do need to validate if you're going to effectthe livelihoods of other people. Once again; you do need to validate someting if you want to be taken the least bit seriously. Unsubstantiated fear has hurt businessses before; labeling is going to promote that unsubstantiated fear. Just because someone doesn't want something labeled does not mean they have something to hide; that's a ludicrous claim to make.

Turns out you may be supporting them regrdless; seeing as they own one of the biggest seed Co's in the world (They also make "organic" seeds.) . http://www.seedalliance.org/seed_news/seminismonsanto/

Why label anything at all then? why list any ingredients on any package of food, if, as you say (correctly), that labeling will lead to luddite activism, mercury in vaccines, MSG, Red dye, alar on apples, hydrogenated fats..... According to your logic, we should put nothing but what the producer wants printed on their packaging.

I said he needs to validate it. The corn is in the ingredients list; wether it's GMO or not is immaterial .That's what my logic stated.

since they don't think I'm responsible enough to read the label & chose what I want, I'm forced to shun all non-organic items. If Monsanto owns organic seeds & farms, I support those farms, if they label them as such.......I won't knowingly purchase GMO foods, and encourage all my friends & family to not use GMO's........I see more "organic' items showing up on the store shelves every day............

If it is immaterial, then there should be no problem labeling it. It is immaterial that a lemon drop box needs to have a label with the ingredient "sugar" on it, yet it does and should.

What you don't know is that "organic" is still "factory farmed", hence other than the GMO thing, means that you are still supporting moving produce across the nation, or the world, unfair labor practices, unfair trade practices and still shitty food, "organic" or not.

Going to need a new definition of "corn" then aren't we. I say that if the genetics of any plant or animal is directly tampered with, then it is NOT the same organism and should be labeled as such. To my way of thinking GMO corn is not actually corn at all. If a company claims that their corn is novel enough to deserve a patent then it is novel enough to not be grouped in with "natural" corn.

The ingredients say "corn", much like they say "sugar". If you want more; that's your job to investigate. Do you also think that every other ingredient should have additional information beyond what the ingredient is? Nobody complains that it isn't "refined sugar" it's just sugar. They don't tell you specifically what part of a pig "pork" is in the hot-dog ingredient list. Why this additional burden that feeds into sensationalist fears for GMO products?
