So, if they are perfectly harmless, what is wrong with saying they are in the food? Sounds to me like the government is getting into the dining rooms and hampers of the citizen's if they are refusing to inform them of a perfectly harmless ingredient in the food.

I didn't say people should not be told that they are eating GM foods, I said the government shouldn't waste time & resources to make legislations forcing such information to be published on our food packagings. They are two very distinct ideas. If anything I'd like people to learn for themselves (ie not having the government telling them) that a lot of things we eat are GM foods and there is nothing scary about it. The Greens make it seem like it is a crime to eat GM foods and fast food, so much that they want a junk food tax. That's what I have a beef with. It's none of the government's damn business if Joe Citizen wants to eat a $3.99 Big Mac combo for lunch on Tuesdays, they shouldn't have to pay an extra dollar on said Big Mac to the government just because the Greens think it's unhealthy.
