    Maybe not because American parents are any less vigilant than South African ones, but that American parents have a massive uphill battle against gov agencies supporting Monsanto? Is it possible for Natural Society perhaps to add a column to their site, displaying countries globally that to date, have banned GMO’s entirely? Maybe it is already on your site, but that I have just not discovered it yet.

      Most American parents are ignorant. That’s why the GMO industries have gained such ground here.

      1. Monsanto also concentrated more on the US in its media campaigns, including people posing as others online such as with the Bivings group. It targets popular sites such as reddit and spreads immense propaganda, trying to make it always hit the top. It has socially engineered many people to feel like they’re “in the know” if they’re for GMOs, and tried to portray those who don’t as “ignorant” or lame. The result is 20-something year old Joes going around the net actually arguing their GMOs for them, despite the fact that they know nothing about GMOs it’s been what they’ve been conditioned to think.

    Find it puzzling that petitions and activists often demand the labeling of GMO’s… while labeling might be considered a step forward, is it? — While labeling may give consumers the choice to protect themselves against GMO products, the bigger picture is that we are treating the symptoms – not the cause, as labeling allows GMO’s to continue contaminating and poisoning our planet and specifically, the foods of people in third world countries. The answer to GMO’s is that official voices and activists worldwide should rise up and call for GMO’s to be BANNED entirely. Are we not just wounding the monster, when we need to cut off its head!?

      One step at a time. You’ll be just as lucky getting depleted uranium banned. The first step is to inform the public. Once the public is informed, people will then make the “informed” choice to get rid of the stuff.

      1. I agree. The first step is labelling.

      2. Unfortunately it seems that not enough people really care. I often hear the ignorant motto, “we’re all going to die from something.” It’s really beyond me how we have so quickly (or so it seems) become an apathetic society until something happens to someone or someone close to them. :/
