23.08% - Treating GMO crops as permanently under suspicion â€” provisional approvals, emergency-use restrictions, mandatory labeling â€” means they never get a fair shot to prove themselves.
18.46% - Once a technology is understood, the next step is deploying it â€” that's how every agricultural advance from hybrid seed to tractors got adopted.
18.46% - No test can eliminate every theoretical unknown â€” at some point you accept the evidence and let farmers use the technology.
18.46% - Farmers have planted GMO soybeans since 1996 and grocery stores have carried GMO products for decades without incident â€” let farmers and markets keep making these calls.

2.86% - Ban GMO crop sales and you push development to China and Brazil with no oversight, while American farmers buy those same seeds on the black market.
2.50% - GMO technology can be regulated with approved varieties and monitoring requirements â€” a blanket ban is a failure to think the problem through.
