We have been asking our government to label food products so we can make educated decisions about what we eat. The government has ignored our requests and so we are taking matters into our own hands.Get your labels at www.labelityourself.org or create our own! HEY EVERYONE IN AICE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES!!!!!! Lets do this. You bet your ass I’m doing that shit! This ! Amazing Lets get on it people!!!!! Hey, so the grocery stores who are hit by this are going to have to go through a lot of shit over those stickers. They will have to either remove them or, if they cannot, probably reclaim every product stickered. It won’t be the companies that make the products who deal with it directly, it will be the minimum wage employees at the store fronts—and the way distribution works, those stores are miles down the chain from producers. I get this campaign and the sentiment behind it, but just like trashing the office of a corporation will only force the ill-paid janitor to have a bad day, I don’t think this will do anything except make trouble for people who have nothing to do with decision making. Seriously. I hate stunts like this. wow… even poptarts betrayed us………….. pop tarts, long renowned for their wholesome, natural goodness, bolding mine my husband works in a grocery store don’t do this shit you end up hurting the little people, not the big people HOW ABOUT YOU NOT FUCKING DO THIS PEOPLE WILL LOSE JOBS GOD I don’t know how some of the most ignorant, downright foolish shit passes my dash on a daily basis. All food is genetically engineered, you asses. Logic bomb, I know. Human beings have been breeding animals and grains to provide more (larger kernels of wheat/corn/barley - seriously, primitive grains looked just like overgrown grass because that’s what they were), better (higher starch content for mixtalization of maise in the Americas, higher sugar content in yams and sweet potatoes for reliable energy), less likely to run off or kill you (every livestock animal ever) and healthier (yes, even from the dawn of time, we’ve been breeding disease-resistant crops and livestock) food. Now, we just have access to the genomes. Those gimmicks with the glowing corn and animals? They’re mapping out the genome and seeing where splicing is successful. They’re not meant to be eaten. And did you know, your god and savior Mark Lynas has publicly apologized for stirring up the anti-engineered food sentiment? Congratulations for being in the top 1% of the world’s population who can afford to complain about this. Genetically engineered food simply means food that can last longer, produce more, and feed more people. If we splice sorghum to live and flourish in drought conditions, we can feed a lot of people who are living in drought conditions a whole hell of a lot faster than taking several decades to unreliably breed it into existence. Thanks to you pure-food activists, all Western (ie, the only people who really have the money to fund this shit!) research into GEF has nearly ground to a halt, setting back the goal considerably. If you’re going to protest anything, protest the companies who set their seeds to be unviable after planting season. Protest the companies who are so fucking focused on making a buck that they have a stranglehold on seed production and planting. Protest the subsidization of corn in the US which has spurred unhealthy and unethical additions of cheap HF corn syrup to every mode of non-fresh food in order to boost production volume at low cost. That same subsidization has led to harmful, exhaustive farming practices, too. I notice you are only targeting food that is sold/consumed in lower income areas in this photoset. How about a little classism for brekkies? Seriously, guys. Why would you think this is a good idea? If you’ve got this much time on your hands (and enough money to be assholes about it), grow your own food. Stop making life harder for everyone else in your moral crusade to dictate what is available to put into my body. For fuck’s sake. ^^^^ Oh look…another white liberal movement that completely disregards the bigger picture in favor of…what? A story to tell your friends about how “rebellious" and “outlaw-like" you were while sipping shitty PBR in some house in some gentrified neighborhood that used to be home to low-income POC? Please yo. Miss me with that bullshit. -- source link
