I'm not sure why people are so concerned with GMOs in food. I think it's just a buzzword to scare people.
The key problem seems to be with the debate on if foods containing GMOs should be labeled or not.
Ah, true. I think that would be pointless though. So many foods would end up being labeled as GMO that it wouldn't have meaning.
GMO foods are actually fairly new, beginning in the last 25 years. So labels only showing foods without GMO's might still be useful and plentiful.
I think that depends on how you define "genetically modified." Technically speaking, any plant bred to have more edible material would be a GMO.
Many countries use  something called "substantial equivalence" when determining authorization of GMO cultivation. Maybe that's the standard that should be used to label food.
Yeah I like that, but I can imagine the same rabble rousers would then start to claim that a regulatory agency like that would be biased somehow.
Isn't that always the way? There's bias in everything, on all sides. So just like it's accused with other agencies, it certainly would be with that.
True, which is why I think more education might ultimately be the answer here. GMOs have been made to seem spooky by media.
Media neutrality has always been an issue. And it goes both ways. Look at the tobacco industry in the 1950's and before.
