I believe much of the hysteria over GMOs is unfounded; however, if Whole Foods wants to label their products, I don’t see the problem. It’s not like the government is forcing their hand.

Mork from Ork won’t mind paying the prices that Whole Foods needs in order to put forward this sort of idiocy but Chuck from Pittsburgh will probably choose to buy his ground tofu turkey at his local grocer for $4.50 per pound instead of $9.50 per pound at Whole Robbery.

This is a great example of creating change by way of consumer demand. No need for government mandates. Tax payers are spared more looting and the consumers who want the product can choose to pay for the product or not.

Helping their customers stay free to choose to buy or not buy them is simply good service.
