We require health and safety labels when there is an identified risk. We should not force manufacturers of safe products to attach a label in order to assist corrupt and dishonest smear artists in attempting to create the imputation of risk.

If we could find a way to impose a serious penalty on the luddite imbeciles who specialize in false charges, most of this nonsense would go away. GM products are tested before they are commercialized. They are safe.

This problem is not limited to GMO's. It is often observed that if penicillin were just being developed today, it could never get to market. We are deep in chasing the ghost territory on product safety, and the problem is getting worse, not better.

OK, I agree. I hope I don’t fall under the category of “Ludite” I have been to counseling for that... ;-) And I personally am not going to start a campaign against GMO’s.

But just as food is marked Kosher, could the GMO label be applied.

Aluminum has been known to possibly cause Alzheimer’s. So I personally use Stainless Steel cookware. So if I am buying cookware, I look for stainless steel. It costs more, but it is my choice. My family takes care of an Alzheimer’s patient. I will avoid it like the plague.
