Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

They won’t have “contains a bioengineered ingredient” on the product label, but if you check the QR code when there’s one with “scan here for more food information” and dig deep into the website, you’ll often find on the 5th (or so) tab, 3/4 of the way down the page, “contains a bioengineered ingredient”.
Not only do they completely omit it on the product itself, they hide it from being obvious on the full ingredient webpage.
Check a canned Conagra product with a QR code that doesn’t say it’s bioengineered on the product if you want to see an example.
It’s not a terrible idea to simply assume that if you see a QR code with the label “scan here for more food information” that the product is bioengineered.

B corps open the door for privatized “voluntary”, contractually-enforced communism.

Thanks for the rabbit hole kek
All restaurants are exempt..
Ah, so you have actually given a reason for scanning the product QR codes. Scan it and be tracked as "health conscious person who can be a potential problem" or dont scan it and not realise if there are bioengineered ingredients. Quite a conundrum.
Exactly.
Have the cashiers do it for you!
Much easier to just assume, though. 65-80% of them are like that.
