Yes, of course I have concerns about what can be done with modification. But I don't fear it irrationally simply as it exists.

It may in fact be safe. But I still think it should be labeled.
What the FDA has done is truly unbelievable. As if it isn't bad enough that companies don't need to put a GMO label on their product, the FDA has passed a law which outlaws eco-friendly companies from putting "non GMO" on their labels.
Is that unbelievable? If a company makes products that are not genetically modified, they are not allowed to tell people. The big companies know that some people would be more likely to buy products that are labeled "non-GMO", so the big companies pressured the FDA to ban small companies from labeling their products "non-GMO". That is one of the most outrageous things I have ever heard. It just shows how much influence these big companies have on policy.
