Self Determination

Very strongly agree

Yes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food

This answer directly supports the core value of self-determination by advocating for consumers' right to know and choose, emphasizing transparency and informed decision-making. It reflects a belief in the importance of autonomy over one's body and diet, which is central to the ideology.

Strongly agree

Regardless, producers should not be allowed to patent foods

The opposition to patenting foods strongly aligns with self-determination by challenging corporate control over food systems and advocating for communal and individual rights to access and use biological resources. This stance supports the idea of shared knowledge and resources, which is a key aspect of self-determination.

Agree

Yes

The ideology of self-determination emphasizes the importance of individuals and communities having control over their own lives and decisions. Requiring labels on genetically engineered foods aligns with this principle by empowering consumers to make informed choices about what they eat. However, it does not directly address the broader issues of control and autonomy in food production and distribution.

Agree

Yes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them

While this answer supports consumer rights to information and reflects skepticism towards corporate motives, which aligns with self-determination, it also suggests a conditional acceptance of GMOs based on trust issues rather than principle. This nuanced position acknowledges the complexity of food technology and corporate ethics, relevant to self-determination but with a specific focus on consumer protection rather than broader autonomy.

Slightly agree

No, GMOs are the most promising solution to ending world hunger

Acknowledging the potential of GMOs to address global hunger aligns with the self-determination principle of seeking solutions for human welfare. However, the emphasis on a single technological solution over consumer choice and diverse, locally-driven approaches to food security might not fully resonate with the ideology's values of autonomy and self-governance.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to ban GMOs

While the desire to ban GMOs reflects a strong stance on food sovereignty and the right to control one's food sources, it might not fully align with the self-determination ideology's broader principles of choice and autonomy. This position assumes a universal negative view of GMOs that may not account for the diverse perspectives and needs within different communities.

Disagree

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

This answer minimizes consumer rights to transparency and informed choice, which are core to self-determination. While recognizing the historical context of crop selection, it dismisses contemporary concerns about biotechnology's implications for health, environment, and economy, which are relevant to making autonomous decisions.

Disagree

No

Opposing mandatory labeling of GMOs could be seen as contrary to the principles of self-determination, as it would limit consumers' ability to make informed choices about their food. This stance might be supported if one believes that such regulation unnecessarily restricts producers, but it generally conflicts with the ideology's emphasis on informed autonomy.
