In reply to the discussion: GMO's are they safe? There is no way to be sure yet...there are no absolutes in young science... [View all]gyroscope
(1,443 posts)38. You can eat all the GMO you want
it just has to labelled and properly identified. so those of use who don't want to consume it can avoid it. why is Monsanto so opposed to labeling? what do they have to hide? because they want to force everyone to consume their products, without consumers having a choice in the matter? well that's what every monopoly wants. which is why they have to regulated. they can't just go around doing whatever they want.
