That seems suspicous to me, why would anybody be interested in keeping us from knowing what's healthy and unhealthy for us in fear that we would choose to eat healthy? I can't really put words to the thought, but they are basically forcing us to eat unhealthy. At the very least, they are taking away our right to choose, and the right to be healthy.

I have seen the argument over GMO foods go back and forth, and I'm not so sure that it's clear that GMO foods will turn us all into mutants (however it is funny listening to a Monsanto funded scientist talking about how GMO foods will save the world).
But yeah, kahl, I'm with you on the labeling thing. People might not eat it? Tough shit! Maybe that will make you reconsider the practice. Whether it's really good for you or really bad for you, we should have the freedom to choose. They had to label those chips that had Olestra in them, right? Why isn't it the same thing? Most people won't even read the label to begin with (do people read what's in the bottle of soda they're drinking???).
