GMO discussion with teacher

[hemet dennis]

One problem with the labeling thing is coke may have GMO's one week and not the next, so do they label all of them that they have GMO's or label that it may have GMO's ??

You have a good point, except the GMOs that Coca-Cola would be using are from corn, and a large percentage of corn is GM so you have to really look for the non-GM. It's cheaper and more convenient to buy GMOs, so it's realistic to assume that there would always be some amount of GMOs in that soda you're drinking.

As you admit not always so should they always label that it does ??

Has not been an issue for coke in non GMO countrys an labeling countrys.

In that case it never has GMO's. But here on the label things must be listed in order of quantity so they would have no way to know what % of GMO's are in any can of coke. So can you see the problem ?

I see people trying to make up a problem. The amount of corn in coke is the same weather they buy GMO or not.

Actually, it can be labeled the way they do allergens "This product may contain nut, tree nuts or traces of nut meats"

Then all food would need that label. any food may have come in contact with lubricants that may have cotton seed oil that may have come from GMO's

Then it can all be labeled that way.

So all food is labeled the same how do you make a choice??
