One of the most debatable topics of the twenty-first century is the biotech food debate. Biotech foods are now commonly found in stores and kitchens. Proponents of biotech foods have indicated that the products are similar to organically grown products, and the opponents say that there are dangers with the biotech industry.
This topic is debatable because of the potential health risks. The food products should be labeled so that the consumers who want to purchase biotech foods can and those who don’t want to purchase biotech foods don’t have to. By law the food and drug administration (FDA) requires all products to be labeled with nutritional content. Until such time that we are able to scientifically prove that there is no difference in the health risks. The biotech foods should be included on the nutritional content on the product.
Once again, we must not put the average consumer at risk. By labeling the biotech foods, we allow the consumer to participate in the decision process when buying biotech food products.

At the beginning of your post, it's not very clear as to which side you are taking; you don't seem to differentiate between what the proponents and opponents say and what you personally believe. But I like how you use the phrase "allow the consumer to participate in the decision process when buying biotech food products"; it would be true to say that not labeling them would remove consumers from making their own decisions.
