People want to know about vitamins and minerals because they provide benefits to you.
No one has ever claimed that there are benefits to eating GMO and it would be insane to believe such. The only reason for the labeling is so people can avoid GMO because of fear mongering.
Please explain why it is fear mongering? Is it fear mongering to label trans fat? Or any of the other 'bad' things in food? Why is asking for a simple label fear mongering?
Why do you care? Is it because you want to avoid them despite having no real reason for wanting to do so?
Nope, it's a couple simple reasons. One, I want to know what is in my food. Simple as that, no malice, no food avoidance or any of that, just simple knowledge for myself. I also care as a nurse, people should know what they are putting into their bodies, good, bad or neutral. Again this has nothing to do with any malice.
And what reason is there to think that GMO are any more likely to be detrimental than non-GMO food? What vector would this negative action occur through?
Those are two great questions. And two questions that I can't answer, partially because of a lack of impartial evidence. If you have an impartial answer I'd love to hear it. Understand that I'm coming at this from my own love of science, research and critical thinking. And my critical thinking looks at the body of evidence and see lots of research, lots of experts funded by these very companies that are creating GMO products. The veracity of any such research MUST be called into question. It is the just and moral thing to do if you claim to love science. It is the just and moral thing to do as a human being. I'd have no problem backing GMOs(destructive corporate agriculture practices aside but I digress) but for me I don't see lots of impartial research out there.
Instead I see a secretive large multinational corporation in Mosanto that likes to silence dissent with money and legal action, and basically says don't bother researching our products they are perfectly safe because our research says so. Sorry that is not good science.
