"GMO labeling: necessary or redundant?"
Many consumers are unaware of the genetically modified foods they ingest, the health risks that accompany them, and ways to avoid such foods in their daily meal plans. It is the large corporations that manipulate state legislation to adhere to their wanted standards rather than the consumer when it comes to these GMO foods. The leading example of this is the large controversy over labeling foods that contain GMO products. Currently there are no states that require such labeling, but that is not for lack of effort as demonstrated by the on going battle in California for the passing of Proposition 37.
My web text will display the harms, ethical oversights, and importance of factual food labeling to the consumer regarding GMO foods. I will accomplish this with science based research and today's major food corporation policies that demonstrate a clear disregard for consumer health.
Key question: Should foods containing GMO products be labeled for the consumers?
Sub-question: Are the policies currently in place by food manufacturers geared towards the health of the consumer? How can the consumer influence leading food manufacturers?
