It's about time for Washington to get the
message: Americans, by a huge margin, want genetically engineered
foods to be labeled. According to a June 2001 ABC News
telephone poll of 1,024 adults, in fact, a whopping 93 percent
of Americans support labeling. "Such near unanimity in
public opinion is rare," according to the ABC News
article that explains the results of the survey.
In addition, a majority of Americans --
52 percent -- believe genetically engineered foods are unsafe,
according to the survey. In addition, 57 percent say they'd
be less likely to buy foods labeled as genetically engineered.
And while only five percent of Americans say they'd be more
likely to buy foods with "genetically modified"
labels, 52 percent say they'd be more likely to purchase foods
with an "organic" label.
