"The legal and consumer issue should be whether
a food is safe or not safe rather than whether it is or is not GM. By
focusing so much on GMOs, advocacy groups manipulate consumers to think that
everything non GM is safe and anything with GMs is not."

"no scientific evidence of harm from GMOs" from links above (different wording in one)
Non GMO cosmetics = scare tactic bs marketing. And who loves scare tactic bs marketing the most? Quacks - who have 0 reputable evidence for everything else they shill for profit and their egos, too. Quackery no matter the form can and does kill - it is reprehensible in all forms. And too often, young children are the ones suffering, dying.

Do government cosmetics safety regulations exist? YES
Are they being improved? YES
Can you do anything to improve enforcement? YES
You can report adverse cosmetics reactions AND advertising and marketing violations, to stop the violators.
Be informed! Be aware! Take action! Don't be scammed!

Those who say consumers have NO safety protection under laws are selling and or promoting products with A LOT of misinformation regarding cosmetics, food, and any other product.

"Pesticide residue found on nearly half of organic produce", 2014
I buy organic and regular produce. I wash (rinse) all.
Do some farmers violate government pesticide use regulations? YES - both organic AND regular food producers, and all need to be stopped. That does not mean most food purchased is unsafe. It does mean governments are monitoring, testing and enforcing regulations.
