Currently, GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods in the United States are not classified differently by the FDA and do not require labeling. Although no reports of ill effects from GMO foods have been documented, advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the Organic Consumers Association argue that past studies cannot be trusted because they were sponsored by pro-GMO companies and do not measure the long-term effects on humans, the environment, and nature. Opponents argue that labeling adds an unfounded stigma over organic foods and that if a nutritional or allergenic difference were found, current FDA regulations would already require a label.

Yes, the more information the better. You can choose to eat it or not, but people deserve to have knowledge about what is in their food.
@9L6WXHM1yr1Y
Only if there are harmful gmo but then the question stands on weather they should serve food to begin with
@9BL3WL42yrs2Y
All foods are genetically modified, and people who say they aren’t are uneducated about the history of plants
@95MXJGQ3yrs3Y
i dont really understand
@93JJG9K3yrs3Y
Regardless, the government shouldn't have the power to do so
@AndyMaidment3yrs3Y
No, the government should not decide what a label should read as long as it is not misleading and private organizations should be able to certify non-GMO foods.
@8WBNQRW4yrs4Y

It would be nice, but I think that we just shouldn't make GMO foods
Yes, however everything is already GMO. There is no way of changing that.
@9BX8HMC2yrs2Y
Can we please just have natural food? like without all of the preservatives, metal, and forever plastics? It makes me feel like I'm eating plastic, even if it's just a thing of chocolate.
@98ZC2T32yrs2Y
@97L89DN3yrs3Y
No, but they should label it and be verified by free market food inspection companies.
@8WL93NM4yrs4Y
only if it can actually be a GMO
I think it depends on the product and what it contains.
@8JPT8QP5yrs5Y
