    1) VT is in the US.

    2) Contrary to "popular" belief, farmers aren't forced to use GMO seeds. They choose to do so because it's advantageous.

    90%? 90% of who, exactly? It sure as hell isn't 90% of their customers, or they'd have a really, really small customer base now, wouldn't they? Or are these 90% just authoritarian assholes who want to force companies to do stuff, even though it doesn't affect their buying habits in the slightest?

    Why does it have to be easy? If you want to know the status of your food, grow it yourself, you lazy fuck-tard.

    You are free to request this information of the companies producing food you would like to purchase. No one is stopping you, and most companies will gladly answer such questions. Those that won't can be avoided. Why is it so hard to take personal responsibility for your life choices?

    I should think that you should have to demonstrate that there is a fallacy in the first place. I realize you're a paranoid-delusional, but for everyone else, fallacies don't exist just because you declare them to be.

    We've been eating GMO food for decades. Can you find one medical or lab report that implicates GMO food in a medical diagnosis or lab result?

    Who claims that GMO is healthier? I mean, there are documented cases of organic produce having pathogens that GMO crops would not have, but let's ignore inconvenient facts for now.

    Do you have any evidence that GMO is dangerous to those who consume them? I believe there's plenty of evidence that heart surgeons with a vague idea of anatomy are dangerous.

    Your comparison is so absurd that there really are no words for it.

    I'm not the one who erected the ant-science straw man. You are making an argument that the poster I replied to did not make. Please try to keep up. While you're at it, stop legislating shit just because you want to know it. You have ways of getting the information that don't increase my costs.

    There is not a single country in the world, not even Israel, which legislates labelling of Kosher food. Your comparison is completely ridiculous.

    That has never happened. The one case involved a farmer who went out of his way to gather the seeds from his neighbor's crops and use them in preference to other seeds. At no time has Monsanto gone after a farmer for accidental use of Monsanto seeds.

    You mean organic food growers (what food isn't organic?) will explain to their customers that their food is no more healthy, and possibly quite a bit less so, than the GMO competition?

    Oh right. You don't mean the reality we live in, you mean the "reality" invented by the paranoid-delusional.

    If you care about GMO, you assume a product contains GMO unless it's labelled otherwise. This is how it's been since GMO became a thing. What is so fucking hard about this that the perpetually-paranoid assholes need to enact a law about this?
