Biotech Foods

Peoples main concern about biotechnology enhanced food is the safety.  Because there is no label on grown food such as fruit, people are concern that they don't know what they are eating.  Who is to say that there is not harmful chemicals in the food, and there is no way of knowing because the ingredients are not listed.  This is why many people suggest that it should be a law that all biotechnology foods are printed with labels.  The council for biotech foods say this is not necessary because they test the foods for safety and there has never been a case where the food has harmed people.  They also think that it would waste an extreme amount of money in order to produce labels. 

If biotech foods were to be printed with labels I don't think it would make a difference in who bought the food or not.  When we look at labels the main things were look for are fat content, calories, or the amount of sugars.  We don't read the fin print about all the unknown chemicals we are putting into our bodies.  So, who's to say that the food even with labels are safe?  There is no point is wasting money putting labels on food that essentially people wont even pay attention to, because even if there was a harmful ingredient we wouldn't know how to tell.  The only logical thing to do is let the consumer know that the food is biotech enhanced, and if that person thinks those foods are potentially harmful then they don't have to buy it.
