Enough already, anti-GMO-labeling people. Really.
The bottom line is that everyone has the right to know what’s in the food they’re about to eat, so why the relentless attempts to try to keep such efforts at bay?
One such insane attempt was recently demonstrated by the Corn Refiners Association (CRA), which claims that labeling genetically engineered foods as such would be so costly that it would actually increase food prices. No, this isn’t a joke, but an honest to goodness excuse – yet again – that aims to suffocate efforts to improve the public’s health.
Seriously, can printing a few extra words on a label really up prices as dramatically as the CRA is leading people to believe? Do they truly think people will fall for that reason as a justification for why GMO labeling is – in their opinion – unnecessary? To resort to fear tactics (your food prices will surge!) in order to get people to turn to the anti-GMO labeling side is a blatant, grasp-at-straws attempt that shows utter disregard for human safety.
Corn industry says GMO labeling will be costly, but other countries have experienced no such problem
