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, however, I don't think the stigma behind them is necessary.
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
No, this would violate the First Amendment
@929DQCT2yrs2Y
I don't now and nor would I care as long it isn't going to kill someone or starve someone to death.
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
No, this would violate the first Amendment
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
Producers should be allowed to label their products in whatever manner they determine their customers prefer. Government intervention adds systemic costs and decreases the flow of information to consumers. Producers who lie or deceive their customers will soon be driven out, perhaps aided by lawsuits in civil courts.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No because non-gmo foods are already labeled.
@8YMT7PN2yrs2Y
Don't they already do that
@8YK25W82yrs2Y
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
No, if the producer wants to then they can but it’s not the governments job to protect our health, people can do that themselves.
@8YB8NY32yrs2Y
No, the government has no right to tell producers what they can an can’t do in regards to the labeling of their product.
@8XGHN4X2yrs2Y
Producers should label what has been genetically engineered in the food they made so the consumers know exactly what they are getting and are sure that its safe or not.
@8X77HPS2yrs2Y
dont really care too much about gmo
@8TWBTT93yrs3Y
They should label GMOs, but they shouldn't be required to if they haven't had help from the government while creating the products. Most likely they did, so they most likely will be required.
@8WK6H923yrs3Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food but it also shouldn't be taught like its harmful because GMOs are the most promising solution to ending world hunger
@8W9BYRC3yrs3Y
Yes, but we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years so I don't really see the need to. But it's fine if they want t or not
@8W7666S3yrs3Y
Yes the consumer should know but we have been slectively breeding crops for thousands of yrs
@8VL9DP43yrs3Y
No, because GMOs are typically not bad and most people can even name why they avoid food with GMOs.
@8V3VYRH3yrs3Y
We should know what we eat because there are some things that people could be allergic to and we would never know
@8TK79Z63yrs3Y
Yes, while I believe that GMOs are perfectly safe and the future towards zero hunger, people also have a right to know.
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
Yes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them, and consumers have a right to know what is in their food
@8SJW8493yrs3Y
Whether or not the food is labeled as a GMO should be up to the company.
@8RW26DX3yrs3Y
Yes, but only when there can be a harm to one's health from consumption.
@8R2ZX4K3yrs3Y
Yes, I trust the safety of GMOs but believe they should be seperately labled just for customer convencience.
@8QG5XSM3yrs3Y
no because all foods are geneicly modified
@8P6PWZP3yrs3Y
No, keep the government out of it.
@8Q5CYSP3yrs3Y
Yes. Not only do customers have a right to know what's in their food, but GMOs shouldn't be as evolved as they are in livestock, nevertheless hidden from consumers.
@8Q2SF7C3yrs3Y
I believe that GMOs need to be marked because to have the consumer to have the knowledge to understand what is in them.
@7M2TNCN3yrs3Y
Yes, and additional labels should be provided to identify whether the food fits various popular diets.
@8PBLGKM3yrs3Y
No, I don't think they would have to but it would be helpful if they did
@6R6HBQ33yrs3Y
The government should not regulate private businesses
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
No, don't increase government power in this sector.
@8MR6SHM3yrs3Y
Yes, we should know what is in our foods
@8MNYGHJ3yrs3Y
yes , food companies should have to list what is in the product they are selling and they should have to list the side effects of the things in what they are selling
@8MF2HYV3yrs3Y
No, not for GMOs. But the FDA should be regulating and mandating transparency about humane animal practices, use of antibiotics and toxic pesticides.
@78S5M873yrs3Y
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food
@8LCBSBP3yrs3Y
Yes, they should label it incase someone can’t have GMO food.
@8L7K89K4yrs4Y
No, if we labeled crops with GMOs, there would be no crop without a label. GMOs keep everyone healthy and improve the quality of the food.
