No label required

Robert Wager may very well be right when he writesthat, 'Requiring labels for genetically modified foodswould be difficult, expensive and would offer nohealth protection for consumers.'The bigger issue here should be, whether I as ashopper should be able to know what the food I ambuying is and contains, and how it was made.If Wager is right that, 'All food products ofbiotechnology (GM food) are examined extensively,...long before the product reaches the market,' then whyhide the fact from the consumer that the food stuffthey are looking at buying is a genetically modifiedfood stuff?Unless there is something to hide?
