INDUSTRY OPPOSES LABELS

Mandatory labels have been fiercely opposed by the U.S. food industry, which contends such labels would raise concerns about the safety of bio-foods and scare away shoppers. Instead of labels, food makers say toll-free telephone numbers and Internet Web sites can offer enough information for curious consumers.

Labels on genetically altered foods have been adopted by Britain, Japan, South Korea, Australia and most of Europe.

What does everyone else think about this? Should we be eating this stuff before they have tested it wnough to see if we will grow third eyes and such?!
