The FDA declared GE foods to be safe in the face of broad disagreement from its own experts -- all the while claiming an overwhelming scientific consensus supported its stance.
Evidence shows the agency flagrantly violates the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which mandates that new food additives be demonstrated safe through testing before they are marketed. While the FDA admits that bioengineered organisms fall under this provision, it claims they are exempt from testing because they are "generally recognized as safe", even though their own scientists disagree.
Every genetically engineered food in the U.S. is on the market illegally and should be recalled for rigorous safety testing. The FDA has deliberately unleashed a host of potentially harmful foods onto American dinner tables in blatant violation of U.S. law. AND YOU DONT GET TO KNOW WHICH FOODS THEY ARE.
You are what you eat?

So if I eat genetically altered food I am genetically altered... sounds fun.
But seriously, I am in fully agree that there should be labels informing us that the food has been genetically altered. Why isn't there? Because fewer people would by the food and that would cause a profit loss to big business.
Also, I don't think the FDA has done its job properly in at least twenty years. Think about the recent discovery that they have known that many anti-depressants have suicidal side effects. Now how did that manage to slip past letting the public know? Step one test drug. Step two write out all the side effects. Step three call press conferance and... public... oh great it's smudged here, oh well. Step four release product.

those men are correct and incorrect, now and returned GMO grain will mixture with non making a hybrid grain yet that would not ensue very many times, the EPA and the FDA have not totally testes GMO products and don't have confidence them yet so little or no of the food we eat is GMO. don't get me started on beef and chicken GMO's

Yes. And I know that places like Whole Foods will have "non-GMO" label on foods not genetically modified, where those foods are known to have been modified in general.

HEY MAYBE SOMEONE COULD TALK "GOOD OLD AL GORE" INTO LOOKING AT IT. THAT WOULD GIVE HIM ANOTHER EXCUSE TO FLY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND POSSIBLY THE WORLD WASTING GAS AND EXPOSING ALL OF US TO MORE GREENHOUSE GAS, THEN HE COULD BLAME IT ON ALL OF THE FARMERS AND HAVE EVERYONE GO ON A 40 DAY FAST. NOT A BAD IDEA! DON'T YOU THINK?!
