Remind me again: Who wants GMO labeling?.....................by Mischa Popoff

Dear Theo:

Remind me again: Who wants GMO labeling?

Let’s see… not consumers, not farmers. And no… not even organic consumers and certainly not organic farmers.
 
The only people who want genetically-modified foods labelled are urban organic activists and… wait for it… GMO executives.
 
Why would executives at the helm of corporations like Monsanto, Bayer and Syngenta, along with executives from every farm bureau, commodity and industry group across the land, seek to “engage” with anti-GMO organic activists in the hope of finding -- wait for it -- a “consensus” on GMO labelling, when there's been nothing but consensus between GMO and organic farmers for well over 20 years now?
