Title: Marketplace Madness
Description: Consumer confusion on the possible effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on human health is causing chaos everywhere in @@DEMONYN@@ grocery stores.
Option: "Anyone that believes GMOs are safe for human consumption is crazy and in desperate need of an education," shouts @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@, as she bursts through the doors to your office, having somehow found a way in passed security. "As the leader of GMNO, an organization devoted to growing natural, unmodified crops, I know about the possible dangers to human health. While there haven't been any short term consequences, anyone who eats genetically modified fruit and vegetables will be sorry in a few decades," she continues, as she sorts her giant mess of papers. "I say, for the greater good of the @@DEMONYN@@ people, we ban all use of GMOs and give GMNO the power to determine what food is safe for human consumption.
Effect: GMNO only allows non-GMO crops spots on store shelves and strictly regulates school lunches.
Stats: Authoritarianism: ^85%, Ignorance: ^40%, Inclusiveness: ^30%, Government Size: ^28%, Obesity: 25.9% Industry: Trout Farming: ^14%, Industry: Cheese Exports: ^8%, Industry: Pizza Delivery: ^3.6%, Niceness: v8.2%, Industry: Retail: v28.9%, Economic Freedom: v32% Sector: Agriculture: v72.6%
Option: "How could anyone listen to this ignorant fool," asks @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Nobody knows that that are long term consequences of GMO consumption. In fact, they are better for the economy; they allow farmers to grow their crops in greater numbers, as well as many other benefits," he argues. "In a great country such as @@NAME@@, it would only make sense to prevent wasted land due to inefficient agriculture by making it compulsory for farmers to grow GMOs."
Effect: Farmers fight for spots on grocery store shelves due to the newly required GMO production from farmers.
Stats: Economic Output: ^4.3%, Recreational Drug Use: ^1.9%, Averageness: v3.1%, Primitiveness: v8%
Option: "Surely there is a compromise," says @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, your newly hired advisor for the Department of The Environment. "Instead of passing misinformed legislation on an issue of this complexity, why not increase spending for science? We can introduce tax breaks for people that open independent research facilities, and after crunching some numbers, I found that if we increased taxes for @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@, we would have enough funds to implement the changes."
Effect: Government offers sigmificant tax breaks for science labs but heavily taxes other important industries.

Any advice on changes for my draft before I submit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
