Task #2

1.) Whether genetically engineered foods need to be labled and if so what should be listed on that label?


       Consumers have the right to know what are in the products they are consuming. They have the right to know because they are purchasing these products,and are consuming them. The consumers need to know what chemicals and toxins that are in the product.
       Genetically engineered foods should be labeled for numberless reasons. One important reason that they should be labeled is because of the food be altered it may contain allergens which the if there were no label, the consumer may possibly have a servere or minor allergic reaction. Another reason that genetically engineered foods should be labeled is because there may be religious concerns with the consumers. The consumers may have a religion that do not allow the consumer to eat certain items. Genetically engineered foods may contain some of the items they may be not allowed to eat. Other times the consumers may not want to consume genetically engineered foods because they are against it, therefore genetically engineered foods need to be labeled for those reasons stated above.
