In the article, "Generically Modified Food: Should Labels Be Required?" the author Jason McLure provides a broad discussion about the pros and cons with GMO foods. The author presents a controversy between the supporters of GMO's big producers and the supporters of organic farmers. On one side, GMO farmers argue about the benefits of these foods. On the other side, opponents of GMO foods question why GMO foods are not labeled and the harms it may cause to the environment.
The article states that labeling supporters want people to be able to know what is in their food. Also, giant GM producers and researchers state that GM crops are not less safe than other foods. The author quotes Philip Nelson, who is the president of the Illinois Farm Bureau.
