8. This issue is so important, If DU Mods locked it, they would look like Corporate shills
Seriously, how many times have stories about the increasingly large dangers present within Genetically Modified Organisms have been quashed, minimised or disappeared.

How many stories have you seen on mainstream media regarding the fact that 90% of Americans want to know that their food contains GMO and is labeled as such?

The issue of GMO's follows on a known pattern of lies and deception by the Corporations in order to protect profits. The did this with Insecticides, basically calling Rachel Carson a liar, and having some idiot eat spoonfuls of DDT to prove how "Harmless" DDT was.

Then they claimed Roundup was non toxic, and I remember seeing claims that you can Drink it without any side effects.

Then they claimed that Nuclear Power was safe and clean, until they figured out that they really didn't consider all of the devilish little details which led to Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and several hundred thousand tons of Radioactive waste that they don't know what to do with.


Now we finally arrive at GMO's and we get the same treatment. You will starve without GMO's. The farmers demand it. It's good for you, blah blah blah. They have tainted the Geneticists just like they tainted the Entymologists to be nothing more than product whores for the Corporations they are subservient to.

If anyone demands accountability for the potential dangers on any of the above mentioned failures, they are branded Hippies, Tree Huggers, Coral Huggers, or anti technologists.

I can tell you one thing for certain, if GMO ingrediants were mandatory of Food Labels, the GMO producers would run like hell to another business, because they are sitting on some very terrible secrets about what comes out of the GMO food we are growing. They are truly oblivious of the fact that they could infect our food plants with foreign genes, and have no plan whatsoever to revert to the natural state. A lot like the exclusion zone around Chernobyl. They can't do anything with it, so there it stands, and monument to the scientists that thought they knew everything.

Demand Labeling of GMO's in our Foods!
