(16,184 posts)It's about getting a highly-charged term slapped on foods, driving business towards organic foods, and subsequently driving up the cost of the average person's groceries.
The labels are pointless, because they'd either have to be so vague as to be meaningless or delve so far into jargon the average person would have no idea what the label means.
There is no significant difference between GM foods and conventional crops. That has been demonstrated over and over again, but the organic industry has pushed so damn hard for something that clearly benefits them this myth won't die.
There are labels everywhere for GMO free. Buy those foods if you're so irrationally terrified of scientific progress, and stop trying to force the organic industry's nonsense on the rest of us.
