Forbes writer: GMO labeling would violate corporate free speech rights

Monsanto had this argument with rGBH in milk.It was shot down in some states,others had to have a disclaimer.The activist justices on SCOTUS probably would shoot down gmo food labeling,especially with 3 having past employment for Monsanto.The law,justice is gone in Amurika.

GMO foods are truly frankenfoods, and if Forbes wants to eat them, go right ahead, stuff yourselves and your families, but spare the rest of the world. Forbes and Monsanto are a duo that cares not a whit about the environment, people's health, or "responsbility" in any form....they just worship the damn $$$$$$$$$$$ they reap.

Because corporations have such a hard time getting their massages heard.

It would be so much easier if they could do it for free under the guise of free speech.

Wait... I think I hear something...

"Buy our products"

...well that was unexpected

Of course this comes from Forbes. They are such F-ing hacks and douche bags. Steve Forbes (but Mommy I want to be President) has no clue what Mansanto has done to our health and to kids. Theirs a reason Europe doesn't want GM foods. They would rather forgo their livers exploding out of their bodies.

corporations are not people.

a person can say anything he/she wants... and thankfully its just one person. so people can ignore or listen.

a corporation is a large entity made of many people forced to think the same, or else they lose their job. anything said by them should be scrutinized. especially when considering their primary motive in a capitalistic system is to earn money.

F and I do mean F-em these Corporate bastards will hang!

Wow . Deny us the right to KNOW what we eat , infringes on THEIR speech ? Absurd .

Hey, JanforGore,

Please keep in mind that the Oligarchs paid a great deal of money to buy SCOTUS and The Republic Syndicate. So, whatever effects their bottom line should be allowed since they paid so much for that Right.

And since the Oligarchs hide behind the Religious Reich, I really would like someone from the Reich to address:

"And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven."

But they never do.

Well, they'll try anything, won't they Jan? The fact is that no one is attempting to restrict them from making statements. The requirement of full disclosure does not violate speech rights. if it did, don't we know that the issue would have gone to the Supreme Court when food ingredient labeling was first required? However, little frauds like this one helps to keep reminding us that those seeking profits at our health's expense, will never leave a leaf unturned is it might deceive us.

That's a crock as well, because I even see more companies taking high fructose corn syrup out of their products and labelling those products as such because they know consumers are demanding it. 87% of Americans with this knowledge want labels denoting NO GMOS on their food products. It's time to push these companies harder. There are organic brands that have the label in the photo above that denotes No GMO ingredients which is voluntary on their products. It is up to consumers to approach their grocers and tell them they want products with this label in their stores. I purchase them whenever I see them and have approached my grocer (and now there is an entire aisle devoted to such products which is a start) and also call the companies to thank them for the labels. For those who don't already know the Institute For Responsible Technology has an entire section on their site devoted to healthy eating where you can get information about retailers that are GMO free. So again, if the government won't do anything to protect our exposure to these untested organisms in our food supply, we will just have to go around them.
