1 No I don't think that genetically engineered food should be labeled because people will see it as a warning and some GE foods are more healthy for you than natural food.
2 People will be aware of what they are eating and will take precautions for the unhealthy GE foods.
3 People might not eat the foods as much and then their income will decrease. this is bad because the GE companies hold 2.5 million american jobs in each 50 states.
4 Yes because they want to know what they are eating and if it could hurt them or not.

1 Biotechnology refines and extends methods that produce new plants and animals.
2 Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.
3 Potential benefits of genetically engineered food include more nutritious food, tastier food, disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (water, fertilizer, etc.), decreased use of pesticides, increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life, faster growing plants and animals, food with more desirable traits, such as potatoes that absorb less fat when fried, and Medicinal foods that could be used as vaccines or other medications.
4 Potential risks include, modified plants or animals may have genetic changes that are unexpected and harmful, modified organisms may interbreed with natural organisms and out-compete them, leading to extinction of the original organism or to other unpredictable environmental effects, and plants may be less resistant to some pests and more susceptible to others
