I agree, Kathleen, and am hopeful we can have a courteous discussion of this rather serious gardening issue. In Washington we are being inundated with so much press both ways, and both sides have heavy support from various farming groups, that it is difficult to sift through it all. On the face of it, to me it makes sense for labeling as a buyer-beware type of thing. For myself, if I knew a product had been genetically engineered I would probably choose another. That may just be a knee-jerk reaction on my part. One thrust of the anti-labeling camp appears to be added cost to the producers, and I'm just not sure how valid that is. Another is that engineered produce is safe and better than otherwise, and I question those claims. I do admit I have not done much research, and as an informed voter I should do so. Hoping for some insight from real farmers.
