I think a good response from the population on the transgenic productoss. the world now has the information of the evil effects of transgenic products. Label the non-transgenic products may improve the quality of the population, as many opted not to buy products that can damage your health care. I also find myself in favor of this proposal, and I think that if it is imposed in all countries where GMOs are comercialisados can be a big blow to the transgenic industry.
