I'm a libertarian so I have no objection to a GM label on a can of peas, and
for the same reason I have no objection to having the astrological sign of
the man who packed the peas into the can on the label too, but I do object
to forcing somebody to do either of those things. Forget GM, if people are
worried about the food supply they should demonstrate against the huge
amount of antibiotics injected into millions of cows and chickens that helps
bacteria develop resistance to those drugs; and also complain about the
unsanitary and unusual culinary practices in China that gave us SARS and
many varieties of influenza. There is little doubt those two things have
killed people, lots and lots of people, GM food almost certainly never hurt
anybody.
