Well who pays for the testing I suppose can not be ignored but that was not
my question. My question is is it now legal for a company, who is telling
the truth, to label their food GM free? Frankly the extra cost may just be
worth it, same as paying higher prices for organics (which includes the
price of testing and certifying). Buying organics usually means you are
avoiding food grown in a manner you don't approve of and had no control over
its inception. Beth
