It's as real as you and me and has been confirmed to have zero acute health effects. On the opposite side GM crops have the potential to save billions of lives in developing countries and increase health in the US. Anyway like 90% of corn and soy beans in the US are GM and corn and soy beans are in like 90% of products so it makes more sense to label non GM foods.

Interestingly enough I live in Boulder, Colorado. 99% of the populous are hippies and only eat locally grown organic all natural small business food.

I still don't want to touch the stuff though, i just think GM is a bad idea. And it may help the developing world, if the food was wasted so much in America or Europe. The world has enough food for 11 billion (huge surplus) and yet at least 1 billion are starving. Seems fair! With such a huge surplus, why do we need to modify it in the first place? It's fine as it is.  


Just cause we have more food in America it doesn't mean that food can/should magically appear in 3rd world countries. It's much smarter to just supply them with better crops so they can feed themselves. In addition GM crops can take care of things surplus food can't, such as vitamin deficiencies.
