Do We Need GMO-Labeled Food?

Melissa SandfortZimmPoll

Our latest ZimmPoll asked the question, “How important will rural vote be in election?”

Our poll results: Sixty-five percent say very important and thirty-five percent said not important. It appears as though the majority of folks believe farmers and ranchers need to cast their vote. So remember, Election Day is Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Less than a week away!

Our new ZimmPoll is now live and asks the question, “Should foods containing GMO crops be labeled?” A great example of this is Prop 37 in California. It is estimated that 70 percent of our food contains GMOs. And with already rising food costs, will this added labeling requirement just increase what consumers pay for food? What do you think? Would it make a difference in the food you purchase?

ZimmPoll is sponsored by Rhea+Kaiser, a full-service advertising/public relations agency.

  1. With the label, the cost will most likely come with it, however, I think it would effect what people buy for the better. When it comes to food, people are more aware than ever of what is going into their foods. People care and are willing and happy to pay the difference when it comes to the quality of food they are feeding their families. Whole salers and restaurants should still maintain the same relationships and use the GMO labeled foods and advertise that their food is from a great source.
