Genetically Modified Food

[Devyn_Baby]

Basically, GMF is crop genes that have been altered in such a was to benefit the crop, such as "RoundUp Ready" corn, cotton, wheat, and others that are resistant to pesticides. There's plenty of others out there that take genes from other crops and insert them into new plants, and so forth. The problem is that it is not required for the food companies to state whether or not their food is GMF or not. This posses a threat to many people with food allergies.

Do you think food companies should label the food as GMF and list what sources the other genes came from?

If is could potentially kill someone because of food allergies, yes.

I think all food should be labeled so we can know what we're putting into our body. Give us the choice.

They should label it, and I think they generally do in our shops, but most stuff has some sort of modification to it - nothin's left to row totally naturally anymore
