According to a 2021 study, 36.6% of American adults ate fast food on any given day. What do people say about fast food? Public opinion is deeply divided, citing everything from convenience and affordability as positives to serious health risks, low nutritional value, and ethical concerns as major negatives.

While genetically modified (GM) foods are widely adopted in countries like the United States, a 2001 Eurobarometer survey revealed that over 70% of Europeans expressed a fundamental rejection of GM food. The subsequent European Union (EU) ban on widespread cultivation and strict regulation of imports stems from a complex interplay of public opinion, the application of the precautionary principle, and environmental concerns.
