uneducated public?

Consumers will be confused with the GMO info? Is this a unintended comment on our school systems? The same systems that produced AMA members? Back to the real issue--with the allergy concerns I have, I am a constant label-reader. But that does me no good if the labels don't give me the information I need to make an educated choice. With all the questions swirling around the safety/risk of GMOs, wouldn't the wisest course of action be to err on the side of caution and wait until time has given enough evidence to support the safety claims? This could be accomplished by conducting a longitudinal study with people eating GMO food as the experimental group, and people eating non-GMO food as a control group. But this would require time, which would hit a lot of bottom lines....
In the meantime, I deserve the right to make my own choice!!!!
