Frankenfoods
 I'm
not a big fan of genetically-modified organisms
and neither are twenty-six
under-developed countries like
Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India,
France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece,
Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico, and Russia
as they have partial or total bans on GMOs.
So, unable to make further inroads into the
First World Monsanto,
the key purveyor of Frankenfoods, is moving
into the Third, like Africa and Indonesia.
It would only make sense, from a marketing
standpoint, if GMOs were clearly labeled, giving
the American consumer
the final decision on whether we need corn
with a dash of salmon thrown in. But, no, Congress
is too well-greased by Monsanto to ever consider
passing such common-sense legislation. In fact,
the Grocery Manufacturers Association is lobbying
for a law that requires the labeling of
GMOs to
be purely voluntary, not
mandatory.
Any guesses how enthusiastic the industry
will be to voluntarily label GMOs?
In you'd care to add your voice to a growing
throng of supporters of labeling our food,
sign the petition at justlabelit.
The curious thing about Monsanto's naked grab
for the world's food supply is that they're
now
putting significant research into old-fashioned
cross-breeding, and having good success, or
so I hear. So more of that, says I, and less
of the mystery food, please.
