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.

No, government should not be involved and people should be able to vote with their dollar
I don't really care. GMO's aren't bad but they are demonized.
@944TTT4Libertarian3yrs3Y
Not knowledgeable enough on the subject to have an informed opinion
@8Y8RH26Republican3yrs3Y
They should have the option to, and have that option promoted
@8WV6ZL74yrs4Y
I am unaware of this topic
@8TDC6FY4yrs4Y
The consumer needs to know what is buying and eating to make their own decisions.
That is a state/local issue
@8NRC4935yrs5Y
Not really sure maybe it’s up to people ?
@8MMLB2B5yrs5Y
Don’t know what that is.
@8LHF58N5yrs5Y
They should be u don’t have to
@8HXL37H5yrs5Y
Yes because everyone has a right to know how it was grown, regardless of the fact that I don’t care if I buy GMO food or organic. If issues surrounding GMOs tend to be true it’s better to get ahead of it.
i dont really care either is fine
@9CXB4XF2yrs2Y
No, this is a lie. GMO foods are not necessarily GEO foods. GEO foods should be labeled by law.
@99TDC462yrs2Y
No, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years and labeling just adds an unfounded stigma to the science; also, producers should not be allowed to patent foods
@99S5RKS2yrs2Y
It depends because some of the food could be deadly to the human body.
@98RXW872yrs2Y
There's basically GMOs everywhere, so would it really change much?
@97YRZYZ3yrs3Y
Only organic foods should be legal. GMOs should not be sold; should be illegal. We need a 100% Veganic Food System.
@8FT2PK35yrs5Y
gmos make it farmers can make more food with less land being used and weve had them since the early 1900 with corn being a farmer is hard enough without trying to put more regulations on it
