Anti-Science Elites - Politicans Say The Science Is Against GMOs

two Representative are Republicans - Richard Hanna and George Miller (but he is a Californian, so pretty much a Democrat)

Sen. Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat, he is an Independent Democrat-Socialist, so even more Democrat than Democrats.

45 U.S. representatives and 10 U.S. senators signed a letter to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg in support of a legal petition that asks the FDA to require labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods.

"The use of novel food technologies like genetic engineering on a commercial scale has so far slipped underneath FDA's limited threshold for 'materiality' because such technologies make silent, genetic, and molecular changes to food that are not capable of being detected by human senses," the letter read.

In other words, hysterics claiming they can taste the difference or are allergic are so kooky even their representatives in Congress don't agree with them. 

"We urge you to fully review the facts, law, and science, and side with the American public by requiring the labeling of genetically engineered foods as is done in nearly 50 countries around the world," the letter read.

I'm fine with labeling foods if the goal is transparency.  Yet transparency is not what we will get in California, since both organic food and alcohol are somehow exempted.
