Well i guess its time to talk about what on the Ballot

[bryjcom]

Prop 105: Labeling of GMO foods
No. This is going to sound ungodly rude but I don't care. 99.999% of the anti-GMO hysteria is outright stupidity driven by leftist hatred of Western Civilization, Capitalism, Technology and built on a foundation of Critical Theory of Marxism. Creating a costly and confusing labeling scheme designed not to inform the public, but to harm business is a big part of why this country is in such a mess. I know there are some here that think GMOs are the most dangerous thing since sliced gulten and Monsanto is the devil but I think y'all are just silly and all this law will do is harm Colorado farmers.

Hey, if you want to eat GMO, be my guest.. I'd just like to know if I'm eating it.

And I think there is a reason that countries around the world are banning more and more GMO crops. This amendment doesn't even ban them.. Just makes them label it..

Its not just a bunch of leftists that think fucking with the genetic code of the world should be held with skepticism.




Just look at these juicy rats!!! Tumors and all. Just feed them a little GMO and you too can have a nice plump cancer ridden rat!!!!

Well 105 won't do that.

All it will do is create confusion in the market place, give people inaccurate and confusing information and harm Colorado farmers and food producers (that last bit is what its designed to do ... harm "evil" capitalists farmers who should be producing organic food for free 'cause communism).

And exactly what will that "confusion" be???

The only thing you will see if it passes is that 99% of food will be labeled "may contain gmo's" or something along those lines... The only way to do non-gmo is to do like organic food, make it a niche, specialty (higher priced) market.

Rather than retype everything, here's my farm's facebook page. Top post right now is my thoughts on the Prop 105...

Anyone who tells you GMO's are dangerous and causing problems is lying (either knowingly or unknowingly spreading a lie). The truth is GMO's make food production safer. I grew up around the chemicals that used to be needed to control pests and weeds pre-GMO's. They are NOT nice stuff, but I guess the other option is to produce less food and a) let some people starve and b) increase food costs significantly.

Hmmm.... Doesn't say that in the prop. GMO food will be labeled, "Produced With Genetic Engineering" Maybe I just don't know how to read????

Well that option may fuck up the genetic code of this planet, but hey, who cares.. You and Monsanto just made a little more money.

By the way. It exempts products from animals that have been fed GMO, from being labeled..



Personally I think I have the right to know if the corn I'm eating is genetically modified with Bt Delta Endotoxin.

I know, I know... I must be CRAZY to want to know.....

Instead of creating a statewide label that is in contradiction to the federal labeling process, the people that don't want to worry about GMO in their food should just buy food that doesn't contain GMO. There are grocery chains and products that cater to these people. Otherwise just expect that most of the commercial food supply has some element of GMO. This is another instance of regulatory nonsense in response to people pushing their agenda on others.

[Ridge]

So far I'm

Amendment 67 - Nay
Amednment 68 - Undecided
Prop 104 - Yay
Prop 105 - Nay

I'd be fine with labeling GMOs if people weren't so stupid and uneducatedly opinionated about them.

Contradiction?????

Are you really serious??????

Putting a label that says it's GMO is somehow going to mess up the federal labeling process??? And I'm sure most of the people here that are against GMO labeling also bitch about the federal bureaucracies over reach with other aspects, but when a state decides to do it. "OH NO!!!! YOU CAN'T INTERFERE WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY!!!! "

You guys are pro 10th amendment except when your not.








Seriously guys....

Stop with the ridiculous arguments...




I just want to know what the hell I'm eating when I buy it at the local grocery store. That's not really a huge demand...

If you already believe GMO to be bad for you, why do you need further intervention from the government to tell you what you already know?

Specifically, look at page 359 and starting on 367. If this gets passed, it will likely end up in court, cost tax payer money, and get thrown out.
