I am not afraid of the GMO boogieman. The human race has been messing with food genetics since the Sumerians decided to start saving the best wheat seeds to plant next year instead of harvesting it in the wild. Therefore I don't think there should be another food labeling requirement for GMO. If food purists think it's necessary, incorporate non-GMO into the labeling requirements for "organic."
