10. By avoiding GMOs, you contribute to the coming tipping point of consumer rejection, forcing them out of our food supply.
Because GMOs give no consumer benefits, if even a small percentage of us start rejecting brands that contain them, GM ingredients will become a marketing liability. Food companies will kick them out. In Europe, for example, the tipping point was achieved in 1999, just after a high profile GMO safety scandal hit the papers and alerted citizens to the potential dangers. In the US, a consumer rebellion against GM bovine growth hormone has also reached a tipping point, kicked the cow drug out of dairy products by Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Dannon, Yoplait, and most of America's dairies.

The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America is designed to achieve a tipping point against GMOs in the US. The number of non-GMO shoppers needed is probably just 5% of the population. The key is to educate consumers about the documented health dangers and provide a Non-GMO Shopping Guide to make avoiding GMOs much easier.

So.... you're saying that we just just sit around and do nothing about that?

And do you mean "science to make our lives better." I for one believe that science is good, but has the potential to be taken to far - and often is.

sorry should have posted further.
science and gmo go hand and hand. fact
yes we can fight back, but think about this going to use just a couple things

gasoline has ethanol.. gmo corn
paper/lumber products..gmo tree "including the tp you use".. gmo various trees
the ink in your printer.... gmo soybean
the shipping peanuts from what you ordered online.. gmo corn
cotton clothing/ linings ..gmo cotton
look down yup thats your keyboard corn/ soybean based.
just look you will see it in every label....

fight back as hard as you can it will never leave the house, if you find a way to make your household 100% patient it and your going to be a billionaire.
yes i like to keep my family as healthy as possible and yes i do read labels..

and no we do not need to sit around but we need to voice our concerns about where the gmo's go into...
not trying to tilt any windmills here it's just my opinion.....

heck the aztecs are the founders of gmo they took maize "a weed" to a crop that is so delicious now...
