Plants and animals bred using DNA from a separate organism - a process called transgenesis that uses recombinant DNA technology - are referred to as "genetically modified" (GM) throughout the world. Certain GM plants have been widely used by farmers and have demonstrated a variety of benefits. However, concerns over the safety of GM foods have led to restrictions and bans of GM foods throughout the world. Moreover, a majority of American residents think that GM foods are unsafe to eat. This study investigates the gap between the views of the American public with mainstream scientific consensus. I propose a model of public perception of GM foods based on how knowledgeable a person is, their risk perceptions, and the amount of trust they have in different actors in the GM debate. Results suggest that perceptions of risk shape views towards and purchasing behavior of GM foods, over and above other measured factors.
