I read in a British newspaper the other day that 7 years ago 60% of all products in UK supermarkets contained GM ingredients. Nowadays there are only two products on sale in the UK containg GM food. Despite the fact that there isn't all that much evidence to say GM is bad, the British consumers decided they didn't want GM and stopped buying them, and the supermarkets got rid of them as quick as they could. Now that's what I call consumer power.
I get the impression that American consumers are far less skeptical of genetic modification and that GM products are widely available. How aware are American consumers of what's in their food? Do they care about GM or is it not an issue for them? How has the media covered the issue in america?
