I love how arrogant writers think that if you want GMO labeling suddenly you're anti-science or a nut-job. Personally, I'd like the entire food chain carefully documented and put online so data could be gathered, trends could be established and science can be done.

A lot of things that have been considered safe for generations we now understand to have harmful effects on the population or segments of it. As we begin to engineer our food, instead of just growing it, we should take extra care to understand the effects of what we're doing. We should also give people the choice to opt-out of this big experiment by letting people know what's in their food and letting them have the option to decide if they want to consume it.

I've been on the internet long enough to understand the arguments for GMOs, I just think people should know where their food comes from and what's in it.

People who know about the issue already know what food is GMO. Its all the food that isn't labelled "GMO free". So a label will not change your level of knowledge about your food and where it comes from.

Imagine if you went to the grocery store and noticed everything said "contains dihydrogen monoxide" (H2O). Does such a label inform, or merely confuse, consumers?

*not a chemist, so please give me a pass on the H20 example
