"The California Right to Know Genetically Modified Food Act" known as Proposition 37 will require food manufacturers to label food with genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). If the bill passes, it will be the first law in the United States that required GMO labeling. Some European countries already mandate GMO labeling, but efforts to pass legislation in the United States have met resistance. Over a dozen other states have failed to pass proposed labeling laws. Food manufacturer argue that the bill is unnecessary because GMO are safe. They believe labeling will drive up food costs and will confuse consumers. Proponents of the legislation assert that consumers have a right to know what is in their food.

A)The public is very concerned with GMOs and is attempting to draw attention to their use in food.
B)The public does not understand the dangers of GMOs and is not making rational decisions about labeling.

Based on past efforts to require GMO labeling, one can infer that the public is not overwhelmingly concerned with GMOs. Since efforts to require labeling have failed in more than a dozen states, despite money spent campaigning on both sides, one can logically assume that there is not wide-spread concern about this issue.
