Kudos to them! I wish they did something similar in my state! I hope more states start doing the same, this is a great precedent so far. I don't buy what those brain-washed folks say about GMO's! I feel so happy someone is doing something about this! I truly hope this is the start, before those horrible GMO's ruin our lives, isn't like we needed extra help to get a disease like cancer, most of what we eat or rub on our skin is potentially dangerous, same goes for medical imaging using ionizing radiation. It truly seems they want to kill us.

I hope they do something about GMO's here in Texas, too. It's not only cancer...it's birth defects, autism, and many more things that affect our health.

Yeah, I know cancer is only the tip of the iceberg (how awful is that, right!?!?). I worry the most about cancer tho, since we all have a baseline of 37% to develop cancer, those are only statistics. It really depends on our genetics, diet and lifestyle in general. Of course GMOs make things worse!

I have the feeling we are guinea pigs to them. Bet those working for these companies don't feed their families with that!

 

[R.R.]

Oh no, I bet their families eat organic!

 

[Trellum]

Hahaha, yeah! I think most of the veggies we are eating are GMOs, right? Sigh, when I was little we only had veggies and fruit, grown with the usual pesticides. You didn't hear about organic or GMOs... Now it seem you either go organic or you risk consuming GMOs

Well, its about time. Most of Europe from what I understand in either banning or has banned these horrible products. This meddling with genetics in our food supply is the reason for many of the diseases that occur in much higher numbers now, such as diabetes. This, along with dangerous herbicides (round up and such) have really hurt us, not helped.
