Quote: Making it worse is the fact that the U.S. is one of the few developed nations that doesn’t require GE labeling. Sixty-four countries – even “third world” nations like Ethiopia and Kazakhstan – require labeling of genetically-modified food items packaged for human consumption. An overwhelming majority of the U.S. population (over 90 percent, according to multiple studies and surveys) wants to know of any GE content, though. And given that about 70 percent of processed foods in the U.S. are GE, since the FDA first approved their use about 20 years ago, shouldn’t American consumers have the right to know what they consume, too?
