I felt that the most reliable site was the nature.com one. The author of this one had credentials. She had a Ph.D. This cite was somewhat recent and everything was cited. It showed where the information came from and it showed a little of both sides. The monsanto site is trying to sell their products, it is a lot of information about the science of there product, but it is going to be biased because it is trying to sell you something. The author is the company behind it. The information is current, and intended for people to buy from them, it is pretty clear and easy to use. I would say the the saynotogmos was probably the least reliable it was confusing to navigate through and it was a bunch of just links to other sites it seemed there wasn't a particular author. it is current but it seems to be more of a blog with just people against GMOs.I personally am not stoked to eat genetically modified food and would definitely appreciate all food that are genetically modified to be labeled. There is some things I feel were made a certain way for a reason, and I'm not sure why but I think we need to be careful about all the changes we make in our world. I feel like we all should be able to know what we are eating by simply reading the package in a grocery store. I think we should follow the Europeans on this one and everything should be labeled. I think that by the FDA refusing to put it on packaging it makes me even more cautious about GMOs.

I agree that we should be able to know what were eating. With people having allergies and various different health risks, I can't believe how vague some of the packaging is these days. I don't think it's very feasible, but it would be pretty interesting if all food had to have all ingredients listed as well as the process they have been through. I know I would certainly eat a lot differently if I knew what was going on with my food. I think that would be the case for many people all over. Just because they are not directly lying to us, they are still hiding the ugly truth from us.
