GMO problem solved.

I could care less what anyone eats.

This guy on the other hand....

"The Man Who Saved A Billion Lives".He is one of seven people to have won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal and was also awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honor.
He won a Nobel prize? That don't impress me much. Given that our most war-mongering president in 100 years also has one. Next thing you know Al Gore will get one for his carbon trading scam.

simply put, if you're willing to put a little effort into it, you can already know if what you're eating contains GMO or not.
As you said, they usually are. If a company goes through the trouble and ensuring their product is GMO free, they're going to advertise it as such.

Food for thought, if there's absolutely nothing wrong with GMO's and they're perfectly safe then why did Obama sign a bill that prevents Monsanto from being sued even if it's proven that it was their GMO's that made you sick? Seems a little fishy to me.

My niece refuses to eat any GMO foods or anything that has been genetically modified. She's always posting "research" and movies about this stuff on Facebook.

But she smokes the hell out of some genetically modified weed though, damn girl!

I see in the newspaper where the GMO label referendum in Oregon failed, finally and definitely.
They had to have a recount, but it failed.
Apparently the majority of Oregon voters didn't feel it was really needed.

No kidding. How about all the Non-GMO feel good companies mark their own food packaging with a Non-GMO sticker? That way, you get to choose which foods you like based on the correct sticker. These types of people love branding, make the sticker really progressive and hip.
