Create a post in this discussion board providing your opinion about whether you believe the consumption of GMO products are either harmful and unhealthy or innocuous, not unhealthy. There is a solid contingent of individuals and advocacy groups in the US that would prefer GMOs products be banned from the marketplace. Several countries have done so including France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Poland, Denmark, Malta, Slovenia and Italy. The United States allows the sale of GMO products and does not require GMO products to be identified by food label. Most companies place a “non-GMO” label on their product even though in some cases that product would not be manufactered from any GMO ingredient. It’s a marketing ploy. I largely believe GMOs are not harmful. I do have concern with GMOs that have the BT toxin gene cassette but a product like Golden Rice has overwhelming value as a nutrient. Which ever side you fall on, harmful or not harmful, provide at least two examples from the information in this Module that led you to your belief, particularly a specific citation from the documentary Genetic Roulette. Also, do you think some of the testimonials on specific personal cases of the what is believed to be the harmful effects of GMOs credible and/or heartfelt? Do you think GMOs should be banned like most countries in Europe, should the US at least mandate the identification of GMO containing products? GMO products generally result in lower product prices, is there a trade-off, no GMOs higher prices or allow GMOs for lower product prices?
