Serious need to know
Those of us with food allergies and autoimmune disorders certainly do need to know what we are eating, for our own health and safety. GMOs contain unknown genes and other substances, that can be harmful for our health. If GMOs are so safe, as claimed by industry, then there is no good reason to refuse to label GMO foods and products that contain them. Since industry is fighting tooth and nail to prevent people from knowing if they are eating GM foods or not, we can only conclude that there is a reason they want to keep us from having that information. Since I have Celiac and food allergies, I will use common sense and avoid unknown foods and products, and read labels to eliminate those foods, ingredients and additives that may be made from the adulterated GMOs. Such as corn, soy, canola, unspecified sugar, cottonseed oil, etc.
