Organic isn't necessarily bad but sometimes it's a label used when there's actually nothing different about the product. And if it's better it's better because it's better in a specific way (like not being treated with certain chemicals that we know are toxic) and not because it's natural.

Basically people should know what they eat, and this applies to those who are too lazy to care as well as those who think a buzzword means it's better.

The GMO thing really makes me roll my eyes too. GMOs aren't necessarily bad. I'm not inherently opposed to labeling them but so much of what we eat has been modified that the movement to get them to be labeled is silly to me, and it perpetuates this "GMO = bad" cultural attitude that is ignorant and misleading.

But don't you know? Science is BAD. Thomas Edison was a witch, after all!

Exactly! We shouldn't necessarily be worried about GMOs.

The more concerning thing is the amount of control and power MONSANTO has over GMOs. There shouldn't be one company with that much power.

Actually, Monsanto isn't the only player in the transgenic crop market. Syngenta and Du Pont are other key players but don't get that much press. In fact, Du Point has more seed patents/transgenic crop products commercially available. I've been hanging out a lot on GMOLOL and listening to the conversations the farmers and those passionate about agricultural science/development chat about the state of the industry. Monsanto is but one option, and they actually don't have as much of the commercial market share as many media outlets hype.

The problem isn't their share of the market, the problem is how hideously unethical they are.
