If the will of the people is based on an unscientific premise (in this case, the idea that GMOs are unhealthy/dangerous), then no. Much in the same way that we shouldn't (I would say don't but that's not realistic) allow the public's opinions on climate change affect public policy. Because as a rule of thumb, the public is dumb as ****. That's why the gubment exists in the first place.
