And that's their biggest PR blunder. As Harvey so eloquently pointed
out, it's an unfortunate aspect of human nature that people often
see debates as "choosing sides" instead of actually using brain cells.
So since the anti-GM folks want labelling, the pro-GM folks assume
that labelling is bad and oppose it, when they should be embracing it.
You're absolutely right that accurate information is what makes the
market work, and customers will ultimately come to identify the
superior products with however they are labelled, even if they use
words that the green Gestapo has brainwashed us into thinking are bad.
