Bill: GMO Deregulation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Konservatīvā Partija
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3662
Description[?]:
| No reason to require foods be listed for any GM changes; sure it's important for chemicals and pesticides, but there should not be a stigma attached to GM foods with consumers thinking GM is bad. On the contrary, GM foods are safer, cheaper and yield better for our farmers. |

| Message | We agree that GMO foods are perfectly safe, but we support full disclosure so that all of the citizens can make an informed choice. Listing GMO ingredients does not make any claim as to the quality of them, and cannot be reasonably considered to stigmatize them. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
