Maybe the younger people favor it more than the older people, or the older people don't do internet research as much. There are a lot more older than younger people voting on elections, especially ones that aren't presidential.BingDing said:I'm sorry to tell you, Kenobi, but it's worse than you think.
I posted a link to an article about mutation breeding here. My followup post has some info on potatoes.
IIRC, the EWG says 90% of the people favor GMO labeling. It surprising our legislatures don't support it, since we have the best Congress money can buy.
Well if you ate them for a while you would have a problem with them.jaa said:I have little to no problem with GM crops and think they're a net positive for society, but I do find it annoying they aren't labelled.
Kenobi said:Another factor: Older people don't have to worry about dying early from GM poison, or hell, maybe they even want to die. Today's old people are not healthy people. They are merely dying slower than the old people of the past.

I agree with this advice. Save your money, only buy necessities, and try to save on necessities too. People will not use your profits productively. I'm saving my money to make a difference later on. I'm thinking about starting a nonprofit organization for reform of laws on LSD and/or shrooms, like what NORML is to marijuana. But maybe the website I'm working on which will promote those drugs will be the most efficient way to spend my money. I dunno yet. I will learn about law and business, and hopefully think of a great way to make these substances more common.pboy said:it really shows the plutocracy factor that is happening, when 90% of the citizens want something, the congressmen know, and yet none pass it, or even propose it seriously, and no one can do anything about it. Its amazing how Colorado and Washington have citizen initiate votes on their ballots, so when the majority of citizens want something it can bypass the whole congressmen propose bill, congressmen majority rules line of things. In every other state it seems the congressmen just listen to whoever pays them, which is usually big corps, and usually big corps interest is against the majority of citizens. Just don't buy GM food as much as you can, and don't buy s*** you don't need, and don't buy anything (as much as you can) that would filter money into such companies
edit: in reality though, everything already is labeled. If it doesn't specifically say 'organic' or 'non GMO' on the label, you can be guaranteed, almost 100% of the time, that it contains the cheapest, lowest quality, GMO, and filler ingredients the company could get to increase their profit margin. Ive actually worked at restaurants in the past...and like, no matter if its a cheap or 'nice' restaurant, they pretty much all use the same ingredients from restaurant supply companies, and they are just regular quality s*** youd buy off the shelf at a regular grocery store
