This is very difficult to answer. The problem is that there was a time when there was not so much pests. But then again, organic milk smells good and tastes good after it passes the expiration date, whereas modified milk does not.

In my opinion, I don’t know enough to say whether it should be labeled or not. This part of the general public is uninformed.

Yes, because it is important for some people to know that. I wouldn’t say it is important for me, but I would like to know if food is modified or not.

I guess the more information people know about what they’re buying, the better. It’s better for consumers to know. We don’t know how much of the economy will be affected if food is labeled or not.

Yes, I think it should be labeled. Genetically modified food should be labeled, that’s all.
