(Irish university scientists) willingness to buy GM baby food? (41.4% would buy; 45% would not; 13.6% not sure)
"4. Willingness of scientists to buy GM food :
Respondents were asked how willing they would be to buy certain types of genetically engineered food if they were at the same price as similar non-GM products. The axiom that those buying food would do so to consume it was
drawn. These results are shown in Table II. Of the respondents 60.4 per cent would buy genetically modified food items if they were the same price as non-GM food with the notable exception of baby food (41.4 percent would buy; 45percent would not; 13.6 percent not sure). T-tests carried out showed that when the means were compared, the drop in willingness to buy GM baby food was statistically significant (p < 0.01). This drop is an interesting insight into risk analysis of the scientist."
