Showing Original Post only (View all)Since a lot of people want to label GMO food here is what I propose. [View all]
We can do that but we should also label non GMO food with "can kill you" since all of the food born deaths have been from non GMO. Here is a handy list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foodborne_illness_outbreaks_by_death_toll
Seems fair since GMO food has yet to kill anyone while the non GMO has actually killed people.

How about a label with the amount of pesticide residue as confirmed by an independent lab?
