Some countries have not allowed genetic engineering on their exported goods, so depending on where you get it, it wont be engineered. Some people think engineering could be harmful, and some foods cannot sucessfully be engineered.

Why should all genetically engineered foods be labeled?
All genetically modified should be labeled so consumers can make their own decision as to whether or not to purchase them.
Can only bacteria be genitically engineered?
Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.
What are genetically engineered babies?
They are babies that the parents chose. so the parents can decide on what they want. For example if they want a blonde hair blue eyed baby girl then they can chose that. I think the genetically engineered babies would not be a good thing because you would know all there features. I'm not saying that finding out the gender of the baby is not a good thing personally i would do that but genetically engineered babies are totally different you would pick and chose all their features.
Genetically engineered antibodies?
Antibodies: chemical that are like glue to specific pathogenes. They stick to bacteria and viruses and make them incapable of effecting their manevolent lifecycle. Genetically engineered: Engineers fooling bacteria, plants or animals into making specified chemical for us. When I'm sick I'm all for them.
Why must a genetically engineered plasmid contain a genetic marker?
During the experiments for genetically engineered plasmids, a large number of cells are used because the frequency of insertion and recombination of the target gene is very low. This also generates a large number of cells in which the plasmid may not be taken up at all. In order to differentiate genetically engineered cells from normal ones, genetic markers are used which quite frequently are related to some physiological effect.
Choose a type of genetically modified food?
Sadly, almost all the food out there is genetically modified(gm). You can find more natural foods by purchasing organic or all natural products, but they are not guaranteed to be gm free.
Is Genetically modified foods safe for all age groups?
It is not conclusively known if GMO foods are safe for any age group.
What are some risks of genetically engineering plants?
When plants, especially crop plants. are genetically engineered they are completely uniform in all characteristics. They have no genetic diversity. If the crop should be attacked by pests that it has no defense for, all will be affected and perhaps die, and the crop would be totally worthless.

Is genetically modified food safe to eat?
Some say they are safe, others say they are not safe, and others say the safety of GMOs is not known. Since long-term human or animal studies were not done before they were introduced into the food chain, the safety of GMO foods is not actually known. There is some evidence that the GMOs, the herbicides used on them, and/or the substance produced in certain genetically engineered crops does cause health issues in humans.
What percent of the average citizen is unaware of food that contain genetically modified ingredients?
The exact percentage of average citizens who are unaware of food being genetically engineered is not known, but with all the coverage of the issue in the media, especially the alternative media on the Internet, the number that are unaware is probably low.
What is the average climate of the Shoshone Indians the shoshone?
it was hot, cold, dry, and wet all of them
