Should There Be A Law Requiring Manufactures To Label Foods Containing GMOs?

14. According to some health organizations, many foods on our grocery store shelves are made with genetically modified ingredients. Most of these foods, however, do not have a GMO (genetically modified organism) label. Do you think there should be a law requiring manufactures to label foods containing GMOs? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

            Many people purchase their food products based on the ingredients that are used to make it, but when they purchase something, they believe it to be healthy, but is it really? They may see the ingredients and not know that the food was made with GMOs. I, as a consumer would want the manufactures to label foods that contain GMOs. Since, many of the consumers prefer food that is completely organic and not genetically modified, they would agree with me in labeling foods that contain GMOs. Therefore, I completely agree with their being a law to require manufactures to label foods containing GMOs.

            By the manufactures labeling their food products, we as the consumers can commence to make smarter and wiser decisions to what we put in our mouths. Yes, genetically modified foods might have more zest, but what they also bring is obesity and many other health issues. If you were to read the label in the food that you wanted to purchase, you would notice that the foods that claim to be organic, are not organic because they are genetically modified. When, the manufactures commence to label that sort of foods then we can see which one is healthier, because most of the genetically foods contain corn syrup or corn.

            I strongly believe that we as a society should urge the manufactures to label the foods containing GMOs. They may say that we should thank them for introducing us to new sort of foods and better flavors as well. Therefore, does that mean that we should also thank them for obesity, heart problems, cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes etc? The manufactures do not care about our health and more the less about us. All that they care about is hooking us on their product no matter what it is made of, in order for them to make big bucks out of us.

            It is to the manufactures benefit not to include if the food is genetically modified or not, so why would they want to put a GMO label on their product? The manufactures prefer us to be as ignorant as possible when it comes to purchasing food, so they decided not to include a GMO label. Their plan all along was to deceive us and they have surely achieved their goal. We should not stand for such nonsense and stand up for ourselves. We can start by something that may not seem that big, but can make a huge difference and that is to demand the manufactures to include a GMO label.
