confused why you would not want to know whats in your food, or maybe I am misreading something.
Because the proposition is badly written. It requires labeling of about 30% of food items sold in grocery stores but not the other 70%.
Other bad thing about the proposition is that farmers and food producers in Washington state face unfair competition from other 49 states who do not require GMO labels. It would require farmers to forego GM seeds because people are not sure if GM foods are good or bad. That would most certainly increase cost of food in the state.
I voted against it along with all voting members in my family.
Who examines what’s in food at the genetic level? You don’t absorb genes from food; those are broken down by your digestive enzymes. Protease breaks down proteins. There aren’t any new amino acids created by genetic mods. What exactly are you looking for?
Because the whole GMO scare is bogus. It’s more liberal fear and hatred of anything that smacks of progress. Liberals would like to see half the world’s population starve to death so the world could return to some mythical pristine state.
I want to know what’s in my food. I have a family member with celiac disease. One has to wonder about the rise in disease and the link with food.

Funny thing, you think you are smart enough to understand anything about such a subject as food yet you’ll throw your dishes and utensils into a dishwasher and load it up with chemicals you know nothing about but not ask for labeling.
