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, and criminalize GMOs afterwards
@8WTFHFY4yrs4Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food and at the same time we need to find a most promising solution to ending world hunger. I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don't trust the motives of the food companies selling them.
@9CNSP6T2yrs2Y
I am personally fine with GMO foods, but if a municipality or a state wanted to vote for this then I think they should be allowed to choose so for themselves and their local economy.
@96NXZGZ3yrs3Y
It depends on the genetic modification and how GMO is defined.
@96DRKXD3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should also indicate if science thinks GMO is safe.
@96D8LHC3yrs3Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food and I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don't trust the motives of the food companies selling them but we should still try to find and develop a most promising solution to end world hunger.
@944MJ7B3yrs3Y
In addition, GMOs actually help the world. There is nothing wrong with GMOs. Unless the GMO is proven harmful to anyone, there should not be any regulation on labeling for them. GMOs exist and they help. No need to fuel people's paranoia.
@8ZS3KYM3yrs3Y
GMOs aren't bad, but should be labeled

@8ST2RBF4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should only use it when in need for food.
@8PNPJJL5yrs5Y
Yes, because you don’t know if something that’s not natural can harm someone’s health.
@8PGCJMN5yrs5Y
Yes, but I would prefer to limit the production of GMOs (consumers have a right to know what is in their food).
@8NWC4KK5yrs5Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know, but there should be a subcategory of GMOs to differentiate between naturally bred plants
@8M6MSQ35yrs5Y
I dont read labels anyways
@8KXRVY95yrs5Y
yes and no yes because its energy and no because it produces gases that we don't need and it the gases will harm the enviroment
@8KVF3MP5yrs5Y
Yes, food labels on GMO food should be required. Although it poses a promising future, people should know what they are putting into their bodies.
@8KQW7LZ5yrs5Y
Food should not be genetically modified, period So just as cigarettes, vaping, marijuana and cigars should be banned so should GMO’s
@8KFLPVK5yrs5Y
Yes, people deserve to know what's in their food. But the general public should be informed about the low risk of GMO foods causing harm to people.

it depends on how strong the chemicals are

Yes, but unbiased education on the subject would be welcome.

YES people have a right to know but I don't believe that GMO's are harmful
@93VYKZ73yrs3Y
Yes, but technically most of our fruits and vegetables are GMO
@8X463524yrs4Y
At least be able to identify the ingredients and any warnings applied to the GMO, or label to be safe from copyright. If so, then it should be required.
@8LVYSS25yrs5Y
@8K8JBSJ5yrs5Y
gmos are good it doesn't really matter if companies mark food as having gmos or not
@8FRPVH75yrs5Y
GMOs are really unhealthy because its been modified and your body doesnt process GMO food as good as ORGANIC food.
@8V9P4CT4yrs4Y
Due to my religious beliefs, I choose to have a neutral opinion on this topic.
@8VC4MKJ4yrs4Y
Because I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses I am neutral regarding issues involving government and politics. However, I respect whatever the government chooses to do as long as it does not interfere with my religious practices.
