Monsanto & their ilk are pure greed, GMO's are not labeled for good reason, sales would fall of dramatically...just label it...most people want to simply know. Ignorance can be bliss for all those who don't want to know. Let the market dictate, isn't that SOP? The market wants to know. Other countries ban Monsanto/Syngenta for good reason.
Americans are largely uncertain over whether genetically modified foods are safe for the environment or safe to eat, but the vast majority say that foods containing genetically modified ingredients should be labeled, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll.
According to the new survey, 82 percent of Americans think GMO foods should be labeled, while only 9 percent say they should not be labeled. The vast majority of respondents across demographic groups favored labeling, with little division either by political party or by how much respondents had heard about the development of genetically modified crops.
