Labeling GM food

"You are what you eat." Many people believe that if you eat genetically modified food, your cell might be transformed because of artificial food.

According to "Prop 37 Loses, Scientists Cheer" in Scientific American, Christie Wilcox reports that the proposition 37, requesting to label GM food in public, did not pass in California because many scientists support that GM food is not only safe to consume but also is safe our environment. 

Up to now, there are many people question whether GM food is totally safe although there are many scientific evidence support its safe. In Thailand, this concern is not crisis because we consume it everyday life. It can be said that we consume this kind of food without acknowledging that it is GM food. For example, many soy products are produced from GM soy beans such as soy oil, or even soy milk. In the article, Wilcox mentions GMO plants have been improving biodiversity around them over 20 years, but she does not mention scientific evidences which support GM food is safe to eat illustrate that there have being no causes of harm to our health over 20 years. Consequently, we should reconsider about long term effect from GM food to our health.
