Do you support the use of genetically engineered crops and foods?

I don't really agree with GM food but the term is a bit misleading as most foods we now eat have been "genetically engineered" eg. Broccoli didn't used to exist. Genetics are important in feeding the world. But I do think producers should not be able to patent seeds and there should be labelling. Crops should only be grown in enclosed places so as not to contaminate nearby other crops.

Yes, but under capitalism all GM foods are exploited for competition

No God made food

Yes. Most foods are already genetically engineered, for example the carrot, typically orange, was actually originally purple. GMOs are the future, and while organic is a cool buzzword, it's never going to be as sustainable as GMOs, especially when it comes to plants.

Yes; where safe and environmentally friendly to do so, the use of, labelled, genetically engineered crops and foods should be permitted.

only if it benefits the Australian agricultural industry

No, because there is practically no way to stop them from leaking and infecting natural crops nor to prevent such foods from being mixed up with non-GM foods.

GOD made food not man

No im now gluten intolerant because of genetically engineering food. They don’t know the damage it can do to a person internally.

God gave use the food not man

Yes, because most vegetables today have already been genetically modifed over the years, however their should be clear regulations around what genetic modifications can be done and how it is tested for short term and long term safety

as a last resort

Yes, but only after rigorous testing to ensure environmental safety and regulated for human consumption.

No the Lord created food not man

No food should not be genetically modified.

No God created all things not man

No The Lord made food not man

No the Lord created everything not man

God created everything not man

People have got to eat. I don't believe the genetically modified foods has as much nutrition value

Yes, but require the proper labelling informing that they are modified and have undergone testing that they are safe to consume

No God made all things

No God created everything

God created food man cannot improve it

over 90% of all crops and even some animals are genetically modified, so this is a stupid question for ignorant people.

Producers should not be able to patent seeds and require to label the genetically modified foods

As long as they are good for your health and the environment.

Yes, only with extensive research on the potential environmental impacts of altering the genes of crops eg. super weeds

Yes, but not all food

Yes but not for food crops until further research has been done on the potential risks associated

No, but i don't think that it would be feasible to provide for our population without it.

Do know or care

Yes as long as they are modified to be 100% safe and it is labelled so customers are aware of risks

Yes if risks of cross crop contamination is eliminated

Yes but in general food warnings/labels and government checks on compliance need to be increased

Potentially, but the natural environment caters for all

I don’t really care all that much

Yes, but producers shall not be allowed to patent seeds AND foods that are genetically modified must be labelled

Meats like vegan meat yes, other items no

Yes, but greater regulation is required

Yes but must be incredibly regulated and health checked but I would prefer non modified food.

Yes, particularly if they have reduced environmental impacts, less resource intensive and have higher yields

Yes but heavy regulations including labelling and the inability to patent the seeds

Eat whatever. Everything is gonna die in the end anyways.

Yes, but make sure people know how it was made

Both above

Yes, but the government should incentivise business's not to create them.

Yes, the benefits far outweigh the cons

No, but we should invest significantly more in research about genetically engineered foods and crops.

Yes, but have more labelling and regulation and funding to make sure environmental and impact to humans are known

How might your food choices change if all genetically engineered foods were clearly labeled at the supermarket?

Can you imagine a world where all our food is genetically modified, and what would that look like to you?

Do you think genetically engineered foods should be used to combat dietary deficiencies, and why or why not?

If you had the power to decide, would you ban or endorse the cultivation of genetically modified crops in your community?

If you had to choose between a genetically engineered crop that uses less pesticides or a natural one that uses more, which would you pick and why?

What concerns might you have about genetically modified foods, and are they outweighed by the potential benefits?

Would you support GMOs if they had the potential to solve hunger in impoverished areas?

If scientists could engineer a food to enhance its nutritional value, would you be more likely to eat it?

How would you feel if you found out your favorite snack contains genetically modified ingredients?

Have you ever actively chosen or avoided foods because they were labeled as GMO, and what drove your decision?
