If the people wanted to start a ballot initiative to force foods to be labeled with which pesticides were used in their cultivation, then that should be their right. When the GMO initiative came up in CA, agribusiness spent tons of money to ensure that they weren't forced to label their products. That is antidemocratic. Again, I'm not arguing that GMOs are good or bad, just that we the people have a right to information, and should be granted what we demand without being slaves to corporate interests.

The supreme court recently ruled that drug companies have the right (under the first amendment) to find out which doctors are writing which scripts. True story. "Free speech" for corporations goes so far as to let companies access certain supposedly private medical records. However, it never goes the other way. Information is too dangerous for the masses, but never could be abused by the corporate interests. I don't really give a shit about GMO, but I really care about free access to information. If the people demand it, they should be granted without interference from the moneyed.
