While I find it interesting that the standard for labeling is inverted between Sweeden and the US, I am not a bit surprised that the US opted to have the genetically modified goods be ” standard”. I think it works in correlation with the US Capitalist system. The US tends to prioritize customers attraction over product quality. For instance, the genetically modified goods in the market exceedingly surpass organic ones which tend to be more expensive considering the cost of resources associating with its production. Being that organic food is more expensive, it wouldn’t attract a larger scale of customers as does the much cheaper genetically modified ones. Perhaps, another reason why organic products aren’t the standard has to do with historical perceptions that although they are healthier than the alternative, they tend to lack attractive taste compared to their counterpart. Who would want to prioritize expensive and taste-deficient foods? While I understand why you believe that food agency should be required to provide the percentage of the organic property of their foods, I don’t completely agree that only “100%” organic should be labeled as organic as there is only a few, perhaps if no, goods that are actually 100% organic. I think we should instead reevaluate the notion of “organic; how much percentage should be considered “organic”? Maybe holding that percentage as a baseline, we would then label foods according to their comparison to that baseline.
