Natural is NOT GMO-free.

Seriously - just reading that first PDF link is scary. And to think corporations want Americans to be ignorant of what they are really eating.
And let's be clear about a few things.
If people don't want to know - or care what's in their food - that's their choice. So a label on a food product that says 'contains GMOs' shouldn't affect them.
And I for one am not claiming that having such a label on food products solves any sort of problem or somehow makes food automatically of higher quality - obviously it doesn't.
But that's not the reason why I support such a label.
I support labeling food that contains GMOs as such because I have a right to know so I can avoid them. I avoid them because none of these food product corporations have proven to me through any kind of adequate testing that it's safe.
