What would be the point of labeling GM foods as GM foods?

Surely someone such as yourself would be in favour of greater choice for consumers?

First let me wipe off some of the condescension you left on the screen.  Now to answer your question. 

Indeed, but I'd be against mandating it.  Surely someone such as yourself could figure out why.

I'm as a rule comfortable with mandating descriptions of more or less precisely what's in food, insofar as people have to eat the stuff.

Sure, me too.  But the GM labeling would be meaningless.  You might as well label food as to whether it was planted during a rainy or sunny day.  Being afraid of GM food is as stupid as not believing in evolution and a govt mandated labeling of food in this way would just strengthen ignorance.  Do we really want the govt in the business of reinforcing ignorance? (I mean anymore than it already does)

How far do you plan on pacifying these halfwits?  Tax breaks for sun dresses and Birkenstocks?

Sorry, I've obviously hurt your feelings and I didn't mean to.  I thought you were wanting to people to give their two cents.
