What You Thought

In March we asked if the benefits of genetically modified food outweigh the risks..

Your Opinion:

Yes	25%
No	60%
Unsure	15%

 

Your Comments:

Yes   "From the research, I see only benefits. No one has proven risks!"

"When precautions are taken, genetic engineering can possibly remove the bad and keep the good in foods."

"The problem won’t hurt anybody. So I think we shouldn’t worry and let professional scientists figure it out."

No   "When will we realize that we need to work with nature rather than dominate it?"

"Many new health problems are arising that haven’t been seen in the past. I wonder how many are the result of things that have already been altered, such as gluten allergies to wheat."

"[This is] another example of corporate greed replacing the common good and common sense.
