Monsanto is really pouring money into this. Are they afraid that the public would reject their frankenfood if they knew what they were eating?
Seems like a simple transparency issue. However, some politically right stations don't like it. Anything that is wrong with it?
All 3 points below seem reasonable to me.
- Require labeling on raw or processed food offered for sale to consumers if the food is made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
- Prohibit labeling or advertising such food as "natural."
- Exempt from this requirement foods that are "certified organic; unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages."
