When you go into the market can you tell which vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, meat is GMO? NO. Neither can I. But, as I was thinking more about it if you took a strawberry and could use your 3 D printer and print out something that looked exactly like a strawberry with the consistency of a strawberry that tasted good but was made of edible plastic but had zero food value, that likely would be something like what a GMO strawberry, or corn, or soy, would be like.
It would look like any other corn or strawberry or soy, so if it wasn't labeled how would you tell the difference? Then if you or your child got sick and went to the hospital from an allergic reaction from something (almost literally from outer space or from another planet) that humans "NEVER" were intended to eat and stay alive eating. This is sort of the state of affairs in all countries who don't have GMO labeling laws in place.
Some of the countries that DO HAVE GMO labeling laws:
Russia
China
India
Most of Europe
A total of 60 countries presently have laws requiring GMO labeling for all foods in their country.
So, at least their people do know what might be killing or maiming so many of their children and adults. But, mostly people refuse to buy GMO foods once it is labeled which is why companies like Monsanto are spending millions to prevent GMO labeling being put into law in each of the States.
GMO companies put over 40 million dollars just in California to try to defeat proposition 37 in 2012 and still Californians almost got their law. They only lost by 1% of the vote.
Vermont now is the first state to have a GMO labeling law in place. Hopefully, soon there will be many more.
