7. I think the public needs to do the heavy lifting grassroots-style.
Spread the word. Get active. 'Vote with your fork.' 'Make some noise' as a consumer. It worked with rBGH when breast cancer survivors' groups protested pink ribbons on GMO yogurt labels. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/is-eli-lill... )

Here's a great noncontroversial source to cite to people unfamiliar with the subject (video currently unavailable at DR. OZ website).

http://www.responsibletechnology.org/resources/audio-vi...
(VIDEO) Genetically Modified Foods, Parts 1 - 3
Are genetically engineered foods safe?

Dr. Oz
leads an investigation to find out... Featuring special guests Jeffrey Smith, Dr. Michael Hansen, a scientist from Consumers Union who has been an avid critic of GMOs for two decades, and Dr. Pamela Ronald, a pro-GM scientist who has been proposing that organic foods include GMOs.
