southern MN | A label costs a half a penny or so, and likely already is there, so no big fpdeal right?
Except, for the label to mean anything, it needs segregation and clean trucks and separate elevators and the like all the way through. A couple grains of corn in a semi load can cause it to be off label, so the flour mill, the truck, the combine, everything along the way needs to be totally separate.
That dual system is going to cost a great deal of money.
Do you really want your food, both conventional and organic, to rise even higher?
Or are we already there, with the current labels we have? I thought that was the whole point of the organic label, so there was a food stream separate from the normal one.
If we demand labels, we will see: "May contain GMO products" on pretty much every single food label.
What gain is there from that?
I have never understood the demand for labels, that accomplishes nothing over what we already have? Just adds needless costs. We already have the organic system for those who want it. We have the label?
