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.

Potentially, if there is good reason and if consumers are educated on what the purpose of the genetic modification is
@9BVD9332yrs2Y
Yes, require the food companies to CLEARLY label the information in a consistent location.
@96GVVVBRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, if their genes were modified in a lab. Not if they were selectively GMO like corn.
I literally do not care. It's not a big deal if companies have to disclose GMO use, but there is zero proof that GMOs have any negative effects.
@94KHYQJ3yrs3Y
I would have to know more about this issue before answering
@94JJDD43yrs3Y
I suggest doing more research and try to control any possible bias (such as funding) before making a decision that could impact heavily either way.
@92NSPSZ3yrs3Y
sure i dont cre food is foood
@8XPHST74yrs4Y
I don’t look at it either way
@8S64HP54yrs4Y
No, because unless it is grown form an heirloom seed it is GMO weather by natural pollination or is done in a lab
@8NC7KJ45yrs5Y
Yes, but it depends on what type of food it is.
@8N62PRZRepublican5yrs5Y
Consumers should know all of what's in their food not just potentially harmful things
@8DXZWWD5yrs5Y
I don't really care as long as its not hurting the consumer in anyway.
@8LB5VNX5yrs5Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food. They also need to be educated about the benefits of GMOs, like how they can aid in ending world hunger.
