In reply to the discussion: I want to know if it's GMO! [View all]Archae
(46,377 posts)11. A label on everything GMO?
Who is going to put labels on *ALL* the produce in a supermarket?
Besides, the amount of anti-GMO propaganda is already sending people to the "organic" aisles, where the produce is 2 or even 3 or more times the price.
And to date, *ALL* credible research says GMO food is safe to eat, contrary to the hysterics put out by the "natural, organic" producers, many of whom use far more toxic pesticides and herbicides.

It doesn't bother me. But if it did, I would only buy food that is labeled Non-GMO.

Let's say a fish has a gene that prevents it from getting a certain type of fungus.
