Question

The USDA issues label to certify that products claiming to be organic have met the government's organic standards. Given that well over 70% of processed food now contains GM ingredients, labeling would add costs. The European Union currently labels such foods. Do you want your food to be labeled to indicate whether it is organic or genetically modified? Would you choose among foods based on such labeling? How might your food choices and purchasing decisions have environmental impacts (good or bad)?

Explanation / Answer

Yes certainly I'll prefer to get my food labeled for organic or genetically modified food. I'll definitely choose my foods based upon Organic or GMO labels. Choosing food stuf based upon the local places would definitely reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere via transportation. GMO is mass produced in order to meat todays demand and supply chain, this is done by the help of machines which requires energy and definitely it'll produce some shot of chemical or air pollution. In large industries require more fodder to feed animals feed the animals where as in the organic they'll not lead to the over-sized as the animals are few and this'll not lead to over-grazing.
