GMO technology was being developed in the 1980s, maybe earlier. FDA approved GMO food crops were planted commercially in the United States in 1996, though GMOs may have been used for pharmaceutical drug purposes before then.
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.
GMOs (genetically modified food) may create allergies.
I just wrote an article that talks about GMOs. The GMO rice, called golden rice, is described under the section "GMOs Can Improve Nutrition."
GMOs are transgenic organisms. A gene is taken from one species and forced into another, which is what creates a transgenic organism.
To be fair, it was not Obama that made GMOs legal. President George W. Bush (and possibly presidents before him) was very supportive of GMOs and the FDA has responsibility of approving them. As for whether Obama and his family eat GMO foods, no one knows.
There is no known information that indicates GMOs are easier to grown than non-GMOs.
There is no evidence that GMOs have improved food production.

People don't hate GMOs. Those who oppose GMOs being used commercially at this point in their development are called anti-GMOers and fearmongers, among other names.
No, they would not be required to be labeled. No foods that contain GMOs are required to be labeled as such.

The ethical issues surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) include concerns about environmental impact, potential health risks, corporate control of food supply, and the right to know if products contain GMOs.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are considered safe for consumption and the environment because they undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are as safe as traditional crops. Additionally, GMOs can be engineered to resist pests and diseases, reducing the need for harmful pesticides and promoting sustainable farming practices.
