Yeah like their campaign is honest?
They were claiming that there is a variety of potato that the FDA classifies as food and the EPA classifies as a pesticide.
Yeah right.

And before the election I received a phone call from a guy claiming to be a farmer and he said I should vote for measure 27 because then I would know what foods were free of genetic engineering. I asked him what food crops he produced and why he could not now claim them to be non genetically engineered, why we had to pass a law and have the government force him to do it. Really, if they are so proud to have their products all natural & wholesome & so forth, why are they not shouting it from the rooftops?

Personally, I'm not at all worried about the health effects of consuming bio engineered food crops, but I sure as hell would like to know what's up with the peaches. I'd like to be able to go into a supermarket here in Oregon (of all places) and buy a fresh peach that tastes like a peach. Can't, so I don't. Market works, measure 27 is unneeded.
