Not sure how to tell what might be genetically manufactured but I do know the stuff labeled 'organic' in the market is more expensive and generally more raggedy looking then what i buy. Personally, I don't know what all the fuss is about. If people don't want to eat stuff that tastes funny they'll buy the stuff that tastes better. Our access to information and the food grower's susceptibility to lawsuits allow for safer food products. Government intervention to bar produce without any evidence to support claims of harmful effects seems over reactive to me. If Europe doesn't want this produce then the people won't buy it. Telling shops what they can and can't carry on their shelves makes little sense unless it has been proved to be harmful.
As for the lawsuits; seems to me like a cut and dried case for tort reform. Too much suing going around. dj On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 9:51 PM, ornamentalmind <[email protected]> wrote: > > "...Is there anyway to find out what products we are buying are GM's?" > - SD > > Sadly, not in the USA Slip.
