How do you know if your food is genetically engineered?

Since when the GM food has helped to feed poor people....IT HAS NOT and IT WLL NOT! IT MAKE IT WORSE. We force the cow to produce more (BAD) milk and we already have too much of it. Please watch the news sometimes! Producer of GM seeds don't give a damn about starving people. They want to make MONEY and that's all about it!

Greed is the"reason" for the illusion of world hunger.There is plenty of NATURAL food and all we need but not enough to satisfy g-r-e-e-d and the Earth was never meant to be for"sale"...food for people not for profit.

Solid Truth,very dangerous to grow ones own food....

@dracarys666 ...aaaaaand how much did they pay you to to put a completely ignorant and unfounded comment such as this online?...Not enough in my book. sellout.

aaaauuggghhh what is that vile looking pig in the black shirt ?Whooaa it is only deborah koons looking like some type of black lagoon goon. Now i know why jerry looked so unhappy onstage at the end and the music that he played was real,real weak look what he had to go home with she would make me carry a decent sized persian habit,how else could you look at that vile twat.

We don't want GM ever.

There's only one thing that bothers me more than the poisons in our food - the morons who say "GMOs have been thoroughly tested; they're fine"! How did you idiots get so fucking stupid? Did you take a course, or does it come naturally? Dumbed down society...look it up! You assholes are part of the problem and the very reason that Monsanto is achieving their agenda of controlling all the seeds on the planet!!!

If you eat healthy it doesn't matter what these idiots say. Who cares if a company is making lots of money. And the genetically modified food that your eating at least doesn't have bugs all in it you are guaranteed that.

[dracarys666]

How do you know whether or not your are eating genetically modified food?

Step 1: do you eat food...

Yes? Then you are eating modified food. All food is the product of breeding and modification.

Get over it. Also, ]food modified by genetic "means" is the MOST tested food stuff in history. The FDA tests all new food products, EPA tests it if there is a pesticide involved, this story is simply sensationalism to scare people.

"If you and yours are not starving you need to shut the f... up"

I think To be more cautious when it comes to elect their congressmen, commisioners, majors, etc and needless to say, presidents of the country. Every one of these people count, because today Americans are 'MISSREPRESENTED', and they have to pay for that, taxes of all kind, etc. Those people are the ones representing the big corps, not representing you and your neighbor

I'm just gonna have to make alot of phonecalls, asking what the heck is in products before buying them.

I sure wish that the companies that DO NOT use GMO's will USE THAT fact as a marketing tool for their own advantage as well as ours.

Healthy GAIN;)

I'd rather buy my food abroad in countries not allowing GMO's

I agree STORM6490MT

Other countries dont want Americas GMO stuff. The U.S is just unloading it on the blind populace for profit, labeling it would cut making one

[STORM6490MT]

Cowards? I believe the Americans are the ones fighting GMO's harder than any other population of people. The people can't control congress. The government has run a muck. The people ban GMO's, educate people on the subject and protest against it. What else are you supposed to do?
