50.00% - Running safety tests before scaling a new technology is responsible development — not grounds for keeping it locked in a lab indefinitely.
17.14% - Thirty years of commercial GMO crops, and not one cancer spike, not one ecological catastrophe — the danger argument is dead.
12.86% - GMO should receive more testing before sale.
8.57% - GMO crops face more rigorous safety testing than any conventional produce ever did.
7.14% - Developing a GMO crop variety takes years of lab work and field trials before a single commercial acre gets planted — that research requires serious capital investment.

33.33% - Farmers have planted GMO soybeans since 1996 and grocery stores have carried GMO products for decades without incident — let farmers and markets keep making these calls.
30.77% - Once a technology is understood, the next step is deploying it — that's how every agricultural advance from hybrid seed to tractors got adopted.
20.00% - GMO crops face more rigorous safety testing than any conventional produce ever did.
20.00% - GMOs are held under greater experimental scrutiny than any other food.
20.00% - GMO food undergoes more experimental scrutiny than the conventional alternatives it competes with.
