We should have as much information as possible about the food we select and buy. If the companies have nothing to hide - if the product is as good as they say - then they have nothing to fear from truthful labelling. I also think it is appalling that farmers lose their accreditation for organic products simply because their crops are infected with genetic material. Cleaning up the pollution of the crop should be the responsibility of the polluting agent. I would prefer not to support these companies - but without labelling I cannot do this. I want all GM foods to be labelled because it has been shown that our body distinguishes certain GE foods as not natural. Then the immune system becomes active and defends the body against this Thus it gets drained of energy for no good purpose, With a weaker ‘intrusion’. immune system we people are more vulnerable to attack on our health which is not what I wish. There is no uniform opinion on these matters and on other risks connected to Genetically Engineered crops, Considering this circumstance it must be left to people's individual choice whether they accept GE foods or not. Information on the GE status of all food ingredients must therefore be consistently provided. I want to know what I am eating, and therefore I want all GM foods to be labelled. I want to be able to make a decision what not to buy! Please ensure that if there are to be GM foods grown in Australia (and I don't think they should) that they are labelled clearly as in a democracy we have the right to be informed especially with such a divisive area as this what we put in our bodies. Please respect the intelligence of the electorate We demand the right to know I want all GM foods to be labelled because I want to know what I am feeding my family. We also happen to be vegetable farmers in Clyde, Victoria, and we would NEVER even entertain the idea to grow GM vegetables! I would like all GM foods to be labelled because informative food labels let me know that my decision, and preference, to buy GM-free is honoured and respected. Genetic modification of food is an element of the ingredients, and it is dishonest marketing if it is not stated. Further, I believe that state governments should have the power to review the release of GM crops. It is important to have GM labelling as it provides protection for farmers who wish to continue producing GM-free produce.
