Packaged food in the United States must have a nutrition label, but there is not a requirement that genetically modified food be labeled as such. Should food producers and distributers be required to identify products made from genetically modified plants or livestock?

1.Yes. I do not want to purchase or eat food that is not natural, and should be given all the information I need to make that choice for myself. 2.No. There is no scientific evidence that genetically modified organisms are harmful to humans.
