媒體街頭采訪轉(zhuǎn)基因食品安全 市民:請專家先吃

對于有專家稱轉(zhuǎn)基因食品安全的說法，有市民表示會相信專家，但也有市民笑言不信，“除非專家?guī)ь^自己吃，吃上幾代，看安全不”；還有市民則表示，希望“帶頭吃”專家能“實名”，“公開一下自己的姓名、工作地址等等，讓大家能隨時去查驗啊。”[查看全文]

(ECNS)-- Although experts claim that genetically modified (GM) foods were safe to eat, residents in Shanghai remained divided, according to a report by xinmin.cn on Monday.

"I've never bought GM food, and I won't buy them in the future," said a resident in Shanghai.

"Although experts said GM foods are safe, they can't prove these foods are safe for our next generation," another said.

Some respondents even suggested that experts who claim the safety of GM foods should take the lead and try those foods themselves.

"People who claim the safety of GM foods should make public their names and work addresses. The public then can follow what is happening, and determine whether those foods are safe or not," said one respondent.

Most say they still doubt the safety of GM foods, but some people say they trust the experts and are willing to try the foods.

"The development of GM foods represents a future trend for the food industry," said one resident.
