More knowledge is always better, but this is much adieu about nothing IMO. Humans have been genetically modifying food since the invention of agriculture.0

True, but there's a big difference between cross-pollination to achieve hybrids and sticking say a frog gene into a corn plant. The latter is what most organic consumers would like to NOT eat.0 -

And food is getting less nutritious because of our monkeying. Although, the fruits and veggies are more visually appealing and do not go bad as quickly.0 -

As I said in another thread, no amount of old-fashioned selective breeding will put the genes of a fish into a tomato plant.
Selective breeding is one thing (though even it can be argued to not always be a good thing), and I don't have an issue with the idea of GMO. However, just as I prefer knowing what ingredients are in the foods I still buy that have ingredient labels, I think it's good to know when someone's been artificially playing around with the genes of my produce. Whether it's much ado about nothing, in my opinion, depends entirely on who's doing the playing when it comes to GMOs.
But, regardless of one's opinion about GMO products, the step toward consumer knowledge is always a good thing, I think.0 -
Yay! I hope Canada will follow it soon!0
