Yes, western Oregon around the Cascade range is green but venture into
eastern Oregon and you hit "The Great Desert". Relatives on my mother's
side lived in the Portland area.
Going after GMOs is a way of going after the uber materialistic greedy
who will do anything to get rich even if it kills everyone else.

GMO foods here in the Netherlands seem to be clearly labeled. I
haven't paid enough attention, partly because I figure that if I've
survived this long without turning into a mutant, and after having
ingested all the chemicals I did in the mid-/**/60s, a few odd
designer genes probably aren't going to tip me over the edge. :-)/*

Turq - I lin Hillsboro, Oregon. Took a job transfer here 20 years
ago and moved from San Mateo, California.
Last year, we had a GMO labeling requirement on the ballot. It was
Oregon's most expensive election issue EVER. That tells me
something. The labeling requirement lost, but they were outspent 3 to
1 by the Frankenfood Companies. Even if GMO food can be shown to be
safe, I firmly believe we have an inherent right to know what we are
being sold and putting in our bodies.
Like, Bhairitu is pointing out a bunch of stores and products now
label their products as non GMO anyway. New Seasons and Whole Foods
are behind this effort. This is where our dollars go.
