Labeling also addresses health and safety concerns, as some consumers may be wary of potential allergens or long-term effects associated with GMOs. Additionally, there is an environmental aspect, as labeling can help track the impact of GMOs on biodiversity and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
What are two risks to using genetically modified organisms?
Two risks associated with using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) include potential environmental impacts and health concerns. Environmental risks can include reduced biodiversity, as GMOs may outcompete native species or lead to unintended consequences in ecosystems. Health concerns revolve around the long-term effects of consuming GMOs, which remain debated among scientists and the public, raising questions about allergenicity and other health impacts.
Do the Consumer Protection Laws protect consumers from being forced to accept GMOs?
No, they do not. There are no laws that protect consumers if they do not want to eat GMOs. The consumers' only choice if they wish to avoid eating GMOs is to stop eating lots of foods that may contain GMOs.
