Oh, for crying out loud.
If people saw a GMO label on food that they have never seen before and may have no idea what it stands for, they will start asking questions and learning about genetically modified food. They could make a more informed decision if they want to buy and eat it or not, just as people can now make choices to avoid or not worry about food with hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc. It's a simple point. I wasn't aiming for anything more complicated than that.
I'm old enough to remember all the local foods too, skimming the cream off the top of the milk can and so on. People usually knew and trusted the local food producers to do it properly and cleanly. I know my parents wouldn't have bought meat/poultry or milk from a stranger or anyone that didn't come from a good recommendation from other people they trusted. The 50's/60's food era wasn't free from buyer beware incidents. Let's not totally romanticize those days.
Farmers markets are growing in number and popularity today because people want food that tastes as good like it did when we were kids and grown/raised without chemicals, hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, factory farm conditions that they can find. People are really getting into heirloom seeds, non-GMO seeds for vegetable gardening.
So, yes, I heartily agree with MH. Call your legislators.
