    It is for the benefit of the grocery store so they can collect/mine/sell your shopping habits so they can make extra profit.

    Not that I mind a company making extra profit, but they should be upfront about what they are going to do with the data the collect.

    I am sure that your insurance company would love to know about all the 'unhealthy' foods you eat so they can raise your rates.

    That "leader" of that African country didn't refuse the food aid because it was genetically altered. It was refused because he is using food as a weapon to starve out his opponents.
