Genetically-modified foods

There is a wide gap between the opinions of scientists (AAAS members) and the public about whether GMO foods are "safe". Science can resolve narrow forms of this question (e.g., no adverse impacts of GMO foods have been demonstrated) but not broader forms (will there be long-term, subtle effects when large populations consume certain foods; will there be changes in ecosystem processes; will monopolistic practices affect agriculture and income).
