GMO labels need to be provided to give consumers the option depending on their own needs. In other words, this information should be disclosed as apart of the nutritional value of our food.

 @9GJSWM9 from Connecticut agreed…5mos5MO

I agree entirely. I would even take this a step further by making it mandatory for all food suppliers to include warning labels on any ingredients linked to health issues(titanium dioxide, red 40, etc) excluding general ingredients such as salt, sugar, etc

 @9GJSBGB from California agreed…5mos5MO

I agree the people should be able to choose what goes into their bodies and have the right to know whats in everything.

 @9GJS9LX  from Washington agreed…5mos5MO

Just so we know what we’re purchasing and so nobody can cry around later if something happens to their health or body. Bc they knew wtf they was buying

 @9GJSPV7Republican from Texas agreed…5mos5MO

Yes, I agree. We should be able to know what we are eating, our children are eating and overall putting in our bodies.

 @9FC45H7  from Utah agreed…7mos7MO

Food effects our bodies and minds. We need to ban the same products/chemicals as they do in most other nations.

 @9FBTKC4 from Missouri agreed…7mos7MO

When there are GMO labels on fruits and vegetables then they are letting people know that they are putting themselves at risk of consuming possibly toxic pesticides. It is good to let them know what they are buying to eat.

 @9FB8LPGfrom Virgin Islands agreed…7mos7MO

While I absolutely see how much such a technology can be used to make more nutritious and healthy food, and I would love for food to be made to need the use of less pesticides and growth fertilizers, but at the same time the government, both left and right, have shown that they are more than willing to sell out our food production and basically poison and make us addicted to unhealthy foods, and because of that I genuinely believe that it would ultimately be used by the political elites for neferious porpuses, and because of that it would also be better to be clear what has and doesn't have GMO crops in it.

 @9F9T97CDemocrat from Georgia agreed…7mos7MO

Being informed about which products are GMO, enables people to prevent themselves from consuming products that could later on be harmful to their health

 @9F7TBBW from New Jersey agreed…7mos7MO

If you want to eat real meat instead of genetically modified meat, then you must have a GMO label if what you are eating is GMO on what you are eating.

 @9GL7QSS from Florida agreed…5mos5MO

Transparency with consumers on what they are purchasing to ingest is very important. Each individual is okay with different things and understanding what you consume is important.

 @9GKQPH3 from Nevada agreed…5mos5MO

For people who have allergies to GMO foods, labeling helps avoid accidental consumption. Some people want to avoid eating food with GMOs and 80% of processed food contains them nowadays, labeling makes it easy to pick what products don't have them.

 @9GJBGHZRepublican  from North Carolina agreed…5mos5MO

I know and hear a lot of people saying that the food we eat has chemicals that are not so god for us to consume. Personally I feel like it’s half bake, from back then food was delicious and put fat on us (mainly school foods until Michelle Obama ruined it for us) but foods outside of schools especially fast foods are still good. To sum up things yes I do believe the the food should have GMO labels because half of the people I know think they put thing into there food, not all the time but sometimes.

 @9GJCKCT from Texas agreed…5mos5MO

yes gmo labels should be added to food labels so people can be well informed on what theyre putting into their bodies

 @9GFT96Y from Michigan agreed…5mos5MO

The article "GE Food and Your Health" states that, "Scientists found that the rats consuming genetically altered potatoes showed significant detriment effects on organ development, body metabolism, and immune function." The article also says that 23 leading scientists approved of the results and confirmed they were valid.

 @9GL6CXWDemocrat from Ohio agreed…5mos5MO

They should be because what if I don't want to eat something "lab made" or "genetically modified" for my own sake and well being? I might just want to eat what's natural and organic and I want to be the one to control whether or not I do.

 @9G2RKH4 from Oklahoma agreed…6mos6MO

Consumers should know what food they are eating and what unnaturally occurring procedures have been done to the food.

 @9GRG3BR from Mississippi agreed…5mos5MO

They need labels, because people have the right to know what they are putting into their bodies, in case they are putting chemicals from a Genetically Modified Food that could possibly harm them if allergic, etc.

 @9GHYWD7Independent from Minnesota agreed…5mos5MO

It's basic health information. Everyone is entitled to it, you're buying and eating it so you should know whats in it.

 @9FTD6SJIndependent  from Idaho agreed…6mos6MO

What this means is instead of increasing the amount of food produced and decreasing world hunger it can have the opposite effect. Killing the other crops around them thereby increasing overall need for food in that area.

 @9FV7D64 from Arkansas agreed…6mos6MO

I agree with this to a point. Having plants and crops being genetically modified can affect the crops around them, but having it being put on the label can cause people to be more aware of what they're eating.

 @9FV7R9J from California agreed…6mos6MO

I disagree because GMO crops can be lessened over time and substituted at the same time they're being removed. Like a replacement type of situation.

 @9GG4PWQ from California agreed…5mos5MO

Being informed about which products are GMO, enables people to prevent themselves from consuming products that could later on be harmful to their health.

 @9FZ7K69 from Ohio agreed…6mos6MO

You are in the right to want to know whats in your food, these labels are important as they provide neccasary details about what we eat.

 @9GBTXZRfrom Pennsylvania agreed…5mos5MO

I think if your food is genetically mutated you have the right to know because that is going into your body and personally i would like it if I knew what was going in my body.

 @9GRFVW7from Guam agreed…5mos5MO

Consumers have a right to know what they eat, otherwise the whole food industry will be under a cloud of suspicion.

 @9G84457agreed…5mos5MO

Obesity levels are higher than they've ever been. People are either dying from lack of food, or overconsumption of food. but nowadays, people are dying more from obesity. In addition, these foods provide little nutritional value. At least people will know what they're putting in their bodies so they can be more mindful and make their decisions with that in mind.

 @9FMKN6X from Virginia agreed…6mos6MO

It isn't a good feeling when you don't know what exactly it is that you are eating. Just a simple warning is enough to let us know where that food came from but maybe put a qr code to a website to show exactly what is it so that it doesn't have to be printed on every single lable

 @9FL85TY from Alabama agreed…6mos6MO

GMO labels would make it easier for people trying to live healthier lives to grocery shop. The stigma may encourage cooperations to use natural instead of modifying things to be better.

 @9G6YFTQ from Nebraska agreed…6mos6MO

GMO labels will show the consumers what they are consuming/using and they will feel safer about what they consume.

 @9FSLVKQagreed…6mos6MO

I think that bred crop are getting more advanced and people need to know what they are eating now. I also think that people care about what's going to their body now more than ever. I don't think that its that hard to but labels on things. It might suck but some people care.

 @9GD4T74 from Florida agreed…5mos5MO

Food effects our bodies and when there are GMO labels on food people know that they are putting themselves at risk of consuming possibly toxic pesticides. It's important for them to be able to see what's in their food and choses if they want to eat it.

 @9FPJXRV from Ohio agreed…6mos6MO

About half of U.S. adults (51%) think GMOs are worse for people's health than foods with no genetically modified ingredients, while 41% say GM foods have a neutral effect on health. so giving context to what is gmo on the label would give more trust in the industry. like even gust saying what ingredient was genetically modified would be more understandible than just claiming its ordinary food.

 @9FPGHDX from California agreed…6mos6MO

Food affects our health, mind, and body. A GMO food can cause an extreme effect to some and worst case possible, it can start a deadly virus if there was anything to happen to our bodies through "lab experiments".

 @9G8TY7CRepublican from Kentucky agreed…5mos5MO

Hunger is one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century. Despite some improvements within the last two decades, global hunger is again on the rise, with 2016 data indicating that more than 800 million people around the world suffer from malnutrition.

 @9F7FM84Independent from Michigan agreed…7mos7MO

If you would prefer to eat real meat and not meat that’s genetically modified you should have the right to know if it’s natural or genetically modified/engineered.

 @9FMGRSL from Missouri agreed…6mos6MO

do you even know what GMO stands for because its terrible and i dont know why you would want it anyway.

 @9G3WVRS from Illinois agreed…6mos6MO

If it even needs to be a question on if American needs to tell you what chemicals they are putting in the food you eat that should tell you what you need to know

 @9FNVSX8 from California agreed…6mos6MO

GMO's do help us in a lot of ways but there are still some gray areas where it could cause harm to us so like any label we should fully know what we are eating

 @9FLYD9X from Idaho agreed…6mos6MO

When buying a GMO food, you should have the right to be able to see how it was made and if GMOs were involved.

 @9FSPVBQ from Louisiana agreed…6mos6MO

An example of how GMO labeling can be less harmful, could be a person being allergic to a chemical that's often used in agriculture, and by labeling the chemical, it can prevent any harm that could be done to the consumer.

 @9FRTNHFagreed…6mos6MO

Some people might think that people need to know what is one the GMO labels but some people do not want to know what is on them.

 @9GMLRZ7agreed…5mos5MO

Its just important to know what you are consuming especially since it had been modified in a way which i dont know

 @9G93HMP from Georgia agreed…5mos5MO

GMOs is easily accessible and don't require the labor of growing and harvesting food, which makes it more affordable to provide large sums of food.

 @9FT2W2M from Utah disagreed…6mos6MO

Every food that we eat now has been genetically modified somehow- dogs and cats are genetically modified. GMO is not an inherently harmful thing.

 @9FNMJTY from Pennsylvania agreed…6mos6MO

Many consumers are misinformed about GM foods and will choose not to buy them if they are labelled – the label will be misinterpreted as a warning and would put this industry at an unfair disadvantage. Response: Labelling is a critical way to inform consumers about GM foods.

 @9FN55SF from Missouri agreed…6mos6MO

As long as you say they are there and then people care informed and if they buy it it’s on them for whatever they want or complain about

 @9FM8KTQ from Illinois agreed…6mos6MO

Simply put labels can give clarity to the people, and methods that some consider more dangerous should be separated from ones people consider natural.

 @9FRKNGLSocialist from Virginia disagreed…6mos6MO

Humans have been genetically modifying their food for thousands of years in an attempt to make their crops more reliable and bountiful, a pop tart and an apple are equally modified.

 @9FQPCTF from California disagreed…6mos6MO

It isn't proven that GMOs are bad or dangerous, and they have helped us come a long way in terms of agriculture. However, many people do not trust these statistics, and by putting GMO labels on products, buyers will likely steer away from them.
