Freepers torn about GMO food labeling

With no guidance from Rush or Palin, Freepers are torn between their hatred of all laws and their dislike new things.

So, needless to say, a flamewar forms in short order with lots of calling the other side liberal.

Codeflier - if both sides agree, they're both wrong because one of the sides is liberal.

Half the people on FR will support this government intrusion. Just watch.

It looks closer to 80% Nanny Stater supporters than half. Good old GMO threads! The only topic where Democratic Underground and Free Republic posts are exactly the same!

9YearLurker doesn't trust the government with labeling anything:

I’m with you . Many people would like the info, but the federal pols are too easily bought off.

Mike Darancette is sure labeling will destroy all supermarket food:

In July 2016 just watch how fast the store shelves become very empty. So what about Franken Food sold by fast food joints?

napscoordinator thinks everyone is being silly, followed by sick liberal media burn:

Absolutely hyperbole. Seriously you can do better than that. This is really no big deal. I almost think you should write articles for the New York Times. You would be good at it.

JRandomFreeper finds disagreement with him to be liberal

Exactly what I would expect from a liberal government drone in the northeastern corridor.

I grow or hunt most of my food. I've worked professionally in the food service industry.

Government is constantly driving up food prices.

Only an uninformed idiot wouldn't know that.

JRandomFreeper also thinks this regulation does nothing:

Selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering.

It's a vague label, and as such, meaningless.

Balding_Eagle is sure the labeling is anti-science.

Next, electricity is going to be labeled by a little box at the oulet, Renewable and Non-Renewable.

It’ll make as much sense too.

Luddites have won the day.

Balding_Eagle knows we need GMO for the coming ice age:

It is a mistake that we’ve allowed GMOs in this country at all.

If it's true that we are entering a new ice age, and I believe it is, you'll be eating GMO with gusto.

So will your children and grandchildren, as the alternative, starving to death, won't be as attractive.

Yep, Balding_Eagle is pretty crazy.

Nonsense, we don’t need that Non-GMO label, we already have one. It’s the label Organic.

Like the Homosexuals, the Food Luddites aren’t content to live and let live. Witness this new law, not all that different than a ‘Homosexual Marriage’ law.

The Food Luddites are insistent on imposing their beliefs on everyone. Just like the homosexuals.

Not to worry, based on recent weather trends, people are going to be clamoring for GMO within the decade.

driftdiver gets quite personal.

I think you have this 180 degrees out of phase. I see you as the good little subject. By the way, I think your user name will probably be available on Democratic Underground. The Mansato meme is straight out of their talking points. Have fun over there - I think you will find 100% agreement with all of your GMO hysteria.

I suspect you know DU quite well.
