While in studying in Sweden over the summer, I had learned that almost all the foods sold in Sweden is organic. Foods that are genetically modified MUST be labeled as such, as it is illegal not to have it labeled.
I thought this was very interesting because here in the US, almost everything is genetically modified. And if it isn’t, it is labeled Organic. Even in some cases, some foods will be labeled organic, however the entirety may not be, which can be misleading to others. Therefore, I pose a question: Shouldn’t the FDA be responsible for ensuring that anything labeled organic is 100% organic, or if it isn’t, at least label the percentage of it? What is your position on this issue?
