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.
Yes, but awareness should be spread about GMOs not being bad, or any different, and potetially even better

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
Because I don’t care
If they are some products that are needed for such labels then they can be put on the product
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.
yes because we need to know what ingridients are in our food if we are cooking
sure but like it dosent have to be necessary
Yes, so people know what they are eating
Don’t care. People should know what’s in their food.
@9NW4GJ5Republican12mos
I am to uneducated to have an opinion on this one topic
Who cares, all food is genetically modified in some way.
I am unsure of this option.
@9NS95ZVRepublican12mos
Yes, if it is truly a GMO. There are only 10 approved GMO’S. A lot of food producers misinform the public about what GMO’S are. They are not harmful like people think.
It honestly doesn't matter to me
@9NL8KVVConstitution12mos
Yes, as well as what GMOs was included and why it was included. Consumers have the right to know what is in their food.
I dont really care about this topic and i have no opinion in this
@9NDNX4YLibertarian12mos
Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food... but it really is the greatest solution to world hunger. I like GMOs.
@9NDK2Z3Constitution12mos
The government should request them but not force them
Yes, but they should not be banned unless the practices cause damage to people or the environment.
I don’t generally care
not enough knowledge on this topic
I don't pay attention to this type of stuff man I just vibe food is food eat what you want at your risk not mine.
Yes, and overhaul the faming subsidies so non-GMO foods are more profitable for our farmers
Yes, but the requirement shouldn't come from government. It should be dictated by the market.
Yes, and inform consumers what GMO's are to remove the stigma surrounding them
I don’t care. I’d prefer to not do it
Yes, I don't believe that GMOs are harmful, but other people who do have a right to know
I think it depends on the product and what it contains.
I would need more information about this topic.
if they want to they can.
i like that it is a cleaner source of energy than burning fossil fuels, but i think we should first figure out how to decrease the amount of waste it produces.
Do not know what this is
Don’t care if it labeled GMO or not
@9MX6RH7Libertarian12mos
No but it's preferred. No government regulations.
