"Genetic Modification -- science vs belief"

[Major Nikon]

26. Good question

Those who think organic food comes from farmer O'dell's back 40 are sadly mistaken. Large corporate interests have bought out the organic industry. There's also a lot of money pouring into promote GMO labeling.

It also depends on how you ask the question. If you asked people if they want to know if their food is fertilized with cow shit, I suspect most would say yes. When asked, “What information would you like to see on food labels that is not already there?” Only 7% said they wanted GMO labeling. The majority said they had little knowledge of GMO, and when people don't understand something, they tend to vote no.
