I'm happy that there's so many so enlighten techno-utopians here, who think that the consumers are not able to handle specific food labels. There's clearly a significant potion of the population who don't want GMOs, but those people's choice doesn't matter, the important part are the March Toward The Future under benevolent wisdom of Monsanto, a company who always put people first.
>implying that the Socialists on this forum trust Monsanto at all
yeah I don't think you get the whole socialism thing. I support GM crops and defend them against obvious snake oil salesmen on the so-called left, but that doesn't mean I trust/support Monsanto. The point is that GM crops rest on solid scientific evidence. As a socialist, I want the power represented by GM crops to be utilized in the public interest, i.e. by transforming the entire system of food production so that feeding people, rather than the pursuit of profit, is the end goal. You're arguing with a strawman in this thread, especially as the two vocal pro-GM people in it (myself and PJ) are leftists.
