And that’s a good reason to label the things, at the very least!
The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Organisms (now Just Label It) was the first activist cause that I joined in college. The Internet opened up a whole new world for me and I became politically and socially active in a huge variety of causes that I continue caring about to this day, but I do remember “The Campaign” as the first newsletter I signed up for in 2001.
Since then, there have been arguments over GMOs constantly. Even though several other countries have banned them, our leaders and GMO manufacturers insist that they’re completely safe and blah blah blah while we argue that we just want them LABELED so we know what we’re eating. To this day, we have not achieved this.
But we do know that GMOs are not completely safe, as we’ve been told over and over again. A recent study proved that GMOs cause cancer in rats. The photos here may shock you; the tumors are about as big as the rats themselves, if not bigger. While I’m no fan of testing on animals, I have to ask that if we’re testing on them to prove something is safe for humans and it’s NOT, then why are we still allowing such things on the market? Money, of course.
