That is a broad topic.
In terms of democracy and our food, GMO labelling—or the presence of GMOs—becomes a concern. That concern is not due to the fact that GMOs are present, but rather to the fact that they are concealed. Relevant studies are secret; we have no access to them.
I have contacted the Canadian Food Inspection Agency a number of times, and I was told that information was not available to the public. I was assured that rigorous studies were being conducted that met all the criteria. However, when I asked to see those rigorous studies, my request was denied.
