GMO Polling


According to RT:

A poll conducted by the New York Times this year found that 93 percent of respondents want GMO ingredients to be properly labeled, and a similar survey done by the Washington Post in 2010 clocked in with 94 percent support.
"Surveys have always found 80 to 95 percent of people wanting labeling," Consumers Union senior scientist Michael Hansen told Rodale News back in April." People are paying attention to food, and because of that they're more interested in GMO issues and buying food that's more local and food without pesticides and other added ingredients."
Genetically modified food labels may be one of the defining issues which clearly portrays the lack of concern elected officials have for their constituents actual concerns.   90% of people agree on an issue yet money still wins the vote.
