I hope I didn't step on any farmers' toes either! I never bite the hand that feeds me.
>> other controversial areas of GMO crops, growing them, their effect/affect on the surroundings
I agree this thread is for discussing labeling, but I personally am more concerned about the effect of GMO crops on crop diversity and blown pollen and introducing massive amounts of transgenic DNA into the wild, neatly packaged with "jumping gene" plasmid zippers. Who proved that those will never revert to infectious plasmids?
I like the idea of veggie bin labels. especially if they said "all XYZ variety corn is a GMO". Then we wouldn't think that we could buy non-GMO ears of GMO corn from the grocer that does NOT label bins.
And (I'm dreaming now), a sign that said "sprayed with XYZ, ABC and QRS on Oct 1).
