(9,214 posts)Would anyone advocating for science want to limit a consumers access to information?
Not that there need be any scientific justification for being a consumer. A consumer can purchase on a whim. Do you think limiting available information helps consumers make good decisions? Why would it be "special labeling" if all food were labeled as GM or non-GM? Is it "special labeling" to tell me if my fish is farm raised in China, or wild caught in Canada. And yes that one does make a difference to me!
If GM food is good for you, it would do no harm to let people know what benefits they are getting from it. I can remember when food companies would brag about the advancements they made, and how much better it was, not try to hide what they did.
"scientific justification for special labeling"? Looks to me to be a diversionary justification to change the subject.
