No, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years and labeling just adds an unfounded stigma to the science

This answer might resonate with the Temperance ideology to some extent because it emphasizes a reasoned, science-based approach to genetically engineered foods, akin to the movement's historical reliance on scientific understanding to promote moderation in alcohol consumption.

Neutral

Regardless, producers should not be allowed to patent foods

Disagree

No
