Do you know how much genetically modified food you eat? No. You don't. Because there is no law in the United States requiring genetically modified foods to be labelled.

You know what else is terrifying?

China.

There are ingredients in our foods from China that also have no screening process or labelling standards. That's how babies died from bad formula and all of a sudden there are roofies in toys.

I support your cause to have food labelled, but for the Love of god, please don't go organic. It's a scheme. You'll end up spending $8 on bananas that were packaged in California and shipped over here, which, is worse than buying non-organic local food that doesn't cost as much money. Besides, even though there are some standards for organic, they aren't universal because in some places you can claim something that is only 50% Organic as "Organic" and nobody's the wiser.

Basically the FDA just needs to get off of their asses and people need to stop being greedy guaton culiaos.

I know, they talked more about buying local than buying organic. Cause organic stuff that's mass marked is just as bad.

Besides, you can grow something organically from a genetically modified seed.

Thank god, someone who agrees with me that organic isn't the greatest thing on the planet.

Is this gonna be your new cause? Right up there with the (adorable and fluffy) polar godless killing machines bears?
