  2. Should genetically modified foods be labeled?

    Several dozen activists rallied at the state Capitol on Wednesday for a bill that would require labeling of any food made with genetically modified ingredients. The activists say that consumers have a right to know what they’re eating. California voters just rejected a measure that would have labeled genetically altered food. The FDA says genetically modified food doesn’t differ significantly from conventional food. So-called “bioengineered” ingredients have been around for decades and are now in most processed foods, such as potato chips and cereal. The American Medical Association also said there was "no scientific justification for special labeling of genetically modified foods, as a class.” What’s your view?

    I hate the season of New Year’s resolutions. Even if you don’t make any pledges, or proclaim that you’re above this annual practice, you can’t avoid resolution-mania. Every media outlet is saturated with reminders to get in shape -- physical, financial or otherwise. And every social media feed has everyone you know and their mom and your mom echoing the same yearly promises.
