Hi everyone,

Please notice the use of "puchase" which, in my opinion, as often used (if not more) as "buy" in the US.

Today, in light of the GMO labeling ballot initiatives that took place across the U.S., we reflect on the overall growth of an incredible people-driven, knowledge-building movement.

If you had spoken to typical grocery shoppers in 2010, it is unlikely many of them would have heard of the term GMO (genetically modified organism). Fast forward four short years. There are now mandatory GMO labeling initiatives in more than half the states across the U.S.—all driven by citizen awareness, action and demand for answers.

GMO Free USA
"NATURAL" MEANS NOTHING. "ALL NATURAL" means even less. A recent national survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center showed most Americans are fooled by this misleading marketing word, which the FDA only loosely defines. Americans think the word “natural” is regulated and means no GMOs, synthetic pesticides, artificial ingredients or artificial colors, and no antibiotics or artificial growth hormones for meat. The reality is, it means none of this at all. Only the legally defined and regulated certified “ORGANIC” label gives consumers those assurances. Additionally, only the Non-GMO Project Verified label assures rigorous compliance of non-GMO standards. But naturally, the food industry, whose only concern is their bottom line, rampantly uses the “natural” term to deceive consumers. “Natural”. “All Natural”. “100% Natural”. All meaningless and 100% Naturally Deceptive.

Organic Consumers Association
Why would the International Dairy Foods Association spend millions to defeat GMO labeling laws, including launching a lawsuit against Vermont? Take a look at this article by the OCA’s Political Director, Alexis Baden-Meyer - find out![/size]

Another posting by Susan.
As far as I understand it: the non-GMOs change their mind!
After having been non-GMOs (asking for labeling),
they change their minds and become anti-GMOs.

"We're not changing our minds about GMOs. The Non-GMO Project was founded on one thing: the desire to make sure that Americans do not lose their right to eat non-GMO food"

What Bill Nye Got Right About GMOs
Twitter was buzzing this week that Bill Nye the Science Guy – every elementary school’s favorite scientist – has changed his mind about GMOs.
EWG.ORG

Note the "We're not changing our minds".
In English it's not the French rule:
- in French, if there's only one object per person, we use the singular
such as "chacun avec sa pipe à la bouche"
- in English, as soon as there's several persons, they use a plural
such as "We're changing our minds".

My comments:
Americans are rather individual and trusting.
Lobbying is very strong and developed eg rifles (they finance politicians' campaigns)
However, when they stand up and count themselves
they go forward and don't stop.

In France, people are more suspicious.
Lobbying is as strong (see chemists, farmers, oil companies...).
Regarding GMOs, the French reacted quickly
(they had to fight European leaders)
but this doesn't prevent industrials and Europe to fight back
and impose their views when we are not vigilant.

Food Everywhere Fuels Obesity

MurielB Dim 7 Juin - 19:01

Hi Gérard, everyone

I would not say that it is food everywhere which is fueling obesity. It is clear that it is what is "in" the food(manufacturers artificial chemicals) which is causing the great expansion of the obesity

I agree with these words and I think it would be clearer to have food labels.

http://www.nhs.uk/change4life/Pages/food-labels.aspx

Some food labels use red, amber and green colour coding which makes it easier to choose food that is lower in total fat, saturated fat, and sugar and salt. Choose more ’greens’ and ’ambers’ and fewer 'reds'.
