Man coming back to this in May of 2020 I just have to say, I'm so proud of how Steve puts everything here. It's so heartening to know that sound and prescient minds are out there, giving good advice. I bet there were many people in the CDC saying the same things as well internally, they were just ignored.

It's getting annoyingly hard to avoid the nonsense of non-GMO labelling. Like Steve's daughter, I don't eat meat, and a truly distressing amount of prepared vegan food is smothered in woo advertising and labels. I just want a decent damn convenience meal sometimes, but I don't want to support the fear mongers!

I, too, avoid purchasing items labeled non-GMO or organic. I also occasionally ask a person selecting a product with either of those labels why they are paying a premium for that label. The answers are often teeth-grindingly bad. Not merely incorrect or ill-informed but jaw dropping stupid. Such as "it's more expensive so it must be better".
