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.
GMO's- Do some research! GMO's aren't typically bad. Insulin that diabetics inject themselves with, is a GMO. It's a genetically modified organism. Modifying organisms goes all the way back to Egyptian times. Tomatoes are genetically modified, Cherry tomatoes are what tomatoes used to be until people started modifying them. So tell that to everyone who thinks their tomatoes should be left alone... and then give them cherry tomatoes and see how they feel. It's ridiculous that people have such strong opinions without doing any research themselves. They ask doctors about vaccines or vegans about GMO's... how about you do research from both sides and actually look at the facts to base your opinion off of. Don't have an opinion based off of someone else's opinion.
I don't understand enough of this topic enough to have an opinion on it

It shouldn’t matter - GMOs don’t really mean anything
@B4Q7ZPFRepublican6 days
No I don’t care about gmos at all
It is part of the food pyramid from what i was taught is that meat is a good factor for the dirt, but im pro choice to what people want to do with it
GMOs are bad but they help prevent the Malthusian Catastrophe
They don't have to if they don't want them to
Yes just to know whats in their food
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.
yes because nobody knows what they had in there other than the ones who grew it
Required by law - NO. Provided as a choice by the producer - as advantageous in promoting their product(s).
Yes but increase information on the safety of GMO's and their potential benefits
It depends on what kind of food it is.
Yes, trust but verify.
I dunno what this means
Food producers should do this in their best interest.
No, genetically modified organisms exist in all food we consume. Waste of ink.
No, let the free market determine this
only if it can actually be a GMO
I believe for certain it should be labeled but for products know to have gmo no.
they should not be required to label it. but it should be labeled
I don't have an educated opinion on this topic.
Yes, but the stigma around GMOs needs to be reduced
I think people should stick to natural foods.
I need more information about this
If they are some products that are needed for such labels then they can be put on the product
@9WPCWYNRepublican10mos
people should have a choice.
No , as an individual you should already know whats going in your body by doing your own research you don't need a GMO's conformation every time you want to ear something etc.
@9WBN9BJConstitution10mos
Producers should be allowed to do as they wish. If they would like to label their food they can.
Yes, most things dont even have GMO anyways its just simply put on packaging to get more money
i don't understand this one
People should know, but shouldn’t ban
Yes, but just because something is labelled as a GMO doesn't mean that it isn't safe. GMO's could be very helpful for ending hunger in a lot of places.
I think, it would possibly be helpful to have labels on the Genetically Modified Organism foods for some people may buy organic foods they could know which is truly organic while which food is made from the lab. Also, I think it would be helpful to have labels because then people could see what is in the food that was created from the lab and not just be eating some unknown chemicals, because sometimes (well I guess this is in my case) I am curious into what I am eating.
@9W487T4Constitution11mos
again idk what that is
No. I just eat what I want to eat.
No. If Non-GMOs want to promote themselves with their own labeling, like Organic foods, that's fine.
@9VR59BXConstitution11mos
No, but ban toxic pesticides and herbicides
Yes, because people have a right to know what they're eating, and I think if people want to understand what GMO means the producer should a URL to their website so that people are informed that GMO isn't necessarily bad (for the ones that want to be informed).
No, however they should be required to respond to inquires about the subject if wanted.
Yes, but they should show the true requirements to get those seals
