Re: “Should Colorado voters approve GMO labeling?,” Oct. 5 letters to the editor.
Last Sunday, The Post printed five letters on Proposition 105 (GMO labeling) — two letters for and three against. The two pro letters respectfully pointed out that GMO technology is not anything close to simple plant hybridization, that Europe did not experience horrifying food costs because of GMO labeling, and that we are not free to make good food choices without accurate and complete information. In contrast, the three con letters referred to scientifically illiterate Luddites, anti-science lemmings, limousine liberals, and sanctimonious, self-serving twits.
Prop 105 relates to a very complex issue with some serious problems as well as critical immediate and long-term effects. And regardless of anyone’s position on this or any other topic, these nasty, divisive, taunting, non-informative letters have no place on any editorial page or in any meaningful discussion. Rather than buy into this type of verbal garbage, I hope voters seriously research this topic.
