A recent study by Lusk suggests that consumers might voluntarily pay more for a genetically modified (GM) food than a non-GM equivalent if made aware of the possible health benefits. However, other research indicates that the acceptability of novel hazards is affected by a variety of factors, in addition to benefits, and that making agricultural biotechnology publicly acceptable will be more complex than indicated by the results from Lusk's study.
卢斯克最近的一项研究表明，如果消费者意识到转基因食品可能带来的健康益处，他们可能会自愿为转基因食品支付比非转基因同类食品更高的价格。然而，其他研究表明，除了益处之外，新出现的危害的可接受性还受到多种因素的影响，并且让农业生物技术被公众接受将比卢斯克研究的结果所显示的更为复杂。
