Political season is upon us again. In our state, the most frequent ads I'm seeing involve voting yes or no on I-522*, to require labeling on products containing genetically modified organisms**. Cue the concerned housewives, the financially troubled farmers, and the cries for justice as it pertains to the food that keeps us alive.
Really? This is how we're spending our time? Spending gobs of money and time on campaigning to write more information on food that may or may not be read?
Consumers - do your homework. If you care about what's going into your body, then read up on your food! This doesn't even involve research; companies are already clearly proud to advertise that they are GMO-free. Is it then necessary to mark all the other packages with announcements?
It seems to me that the market can take care of itself.
*Which I think should be referenced in a manner as not to confuse voters as to whether they're voting for the existence or non-existence of an already-existing interstate highway.
**The spelling of this latter word is really, really important to get right if you're going to Google it.
