What is genetically engineered food, and why doesn't the FDA require labels to indicate this to the consumer?!
Are most of our canned veggies "genetically engineered'!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
There are too many interests involved in this issue!. The simple idea of eating something that has been modified by man is not exactly attractive to many!. It has been determined recently that crops grown from genetically altered seed not only resist pests, but harm other forms of life as well, including birds, gophers, squirrels and the like!. I can only imagine what it does to humans, although we might find out in another ten years, when the damage has already been done, just like nutrasweet now, which as it turns out is actually harmfulto humans!.
I don't know about canned veggies, but I would be wary of anything purchased in a dollar store!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are very few heirloom seeds that are grown by the farmers that supply produce to markets!.
And the guy above me is WRONG!. Europe is just as prone to use hybrid seeds as America is!. In fact, Europe is importing it's produce from North and South America in quantities that rival the import quantities of the US!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In the USA, corporations are more important than people!. It's profit that matters, not individual choice!.
In Europe it's a lot different!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That was the topic of last week's Boston Legal episode!
They were arguing if cloned beef should be labeled as such!. The FDA's argument was that labeling it as "cloned" might deter people from buying it, thus not giving the cloned beef manufacturer's a chance to succeed!.
