Activists and concerned citizens around the world have had enough with corrupt corporations censoring their right to know what’s in their food, and frankly they’re beyond upset. And if the government will not side with the 90 plus percentage of consumers who are in favor of GMO labeling, then they’re going to do it themselves. Read more: naturalsociety.com...
With a lack of real GMO labeling thanks to dirty tricks by pro-GMO groups like No on 37, grassroots initiatives are the only methods of alerting the public to what they are putting into their mouths. Pro-GMO campaigns have impersonated and illegally used the FDA seal, posed as phony cop and democrat groups, and poured more than $45 million into keeping consumers into the dark.Now, citizens are fighting back through peaceful grassroots initiatives. As a picture from one Treehugger blog shows, consumers are honestly labeling processed foods across the shelves of international grocers:
The Label It Yourself (#LIY) campaign empowers people to make educated decisions about what is in their food, without waiting for government or corporations to do it for them.

Only one question.
What is the general reaction from the store manager when they see someone putting a sticker on the products they have on the shelves?

How about an app that scans the code of the product and tells if it has gmo? Or does one excist already?

How do we know the competition is not putting a skull and cross bones label on their competitors items, not because they deem it gmo but so you buy their brand? This is outright illegal, and I would rather not have vigilantes going around mis-labeling things.

Fantastic idea
I wonder how long it'll be before they arrest someone for DAMAGING the items with a sticker?

I've heard that idea mentioned before, problem is they'd keep changing the codes.

Although I would love for GMO's to be labeled, this idea doesn't make that much sense.
How can ordinary people that didn't inspect righteously the product could identify it with having gmo's in the first place?
The codes are based on four-digit numbers for conventional produce, to which an extra digit is added to indicate organic or GM status. If the number is five digits beginning with a 9, then the item is organic. If the item is five digits beginning in 8, then it is a genetically modified crop.

So they're taking illegal action against a measure that was put to vote and failed. How exactly is this different from Republicans loudly whining about Obama winning? "We didn't get our way, so we're just going to do what we want anyways!" How childish.

As for those that say it's illegal to do such a thing, just remember, you are feeding this poison to your children either knowingly or unknowingly. It would be better to know and not poison your children than the alternative. If you love your children, I suggest you not feed such garbage to your kids.
