    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.
