Quote:
According to a recent survey (available in .pdf form here) by the Oklahoma State University Department of Agricultural Economics, over 80% of Americans said they would support “mandatory labels on foods containing DNA,” roughly the same number that support the mandatory labeling of GMO foods “produced with genetic engineering.”

This is almost as bad that that prank where they asked people to sign a petition against dihydrogen monoxide.

No, what's bad about that is I came up with that H2O prank 15 years ago and I was a long way from the first person to do so, but people still fall for it today.

What this ought to teach us, beyond the fact that most people are incapable of basic science and reasoning, is why survey results are never to be trusted.

That said, almost 45% of respondents think trans-saturated fats shouldn't be banned, which boggles my mind in light of the universal denouncement and large-scale removal of the things that's been ongoing for several years now.
