Five different American perspectives on GMOs and overpopulation:

1. Do you know what GMOs are?
1. They sound familiar.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes, I do.
5. Yes.
2. Are you OK with eating your everyday foods knowing there are GMO's in them?
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. For the most part, yes.
5. Yes.
3. Do you think overpopulation will be an issue in the not so far future?
1. It is possible.
2. No, not anytime soon.
3. Yes.
4. Maybe.
5. Heck yes!
4. Do you think GMO’s will help to face this problem?
1. That would make sense.  
2. Yes, they could.
3. No, how does that even make sense?
4. Yeah, sure.
5. Easily.
5. What do you think about other applications of GMOs, like trees that glow instead of having streetlights?
1. I think that the applications are endless and that GMOs, and all science, should be used for good.
2. I think that would be pretty cool.
3. I think it’s trivial, but if it works, we could use that to save electricity.
4. That would be interesting. 
5. Yoooo, that’s awesome.

Generally, the Americans whom I asked, knew what GMOs are and did not have problems with eating them on a daily basis. They mostly believed that over population was a possible issue and that GMOs could help solve this problem. Most of the Americans that I asked were interested in experimenting with other applications of GMOs.
