Yea, how is this bad? I'm not saying GMOs are inherently bad, but what's wrong with giving people information? Is there something tangible we can compare this to?
GMOs are seen as "scary" and this would provide no benefit to consumers. It would needlessly stigmatise an important innovation in food production. It's a dumb idea.
It might provide no benefit to you. But to the larger group of "consumers," yes, there are many of us who would prefer this stuff be labeled. And there are plenty of valid reasons to not want to eat GMO food. For me, it's not a food safety issue, it's a food quality issue. I find genetic modification frequently prioritizes crop hardiness and sugar content, not taste or quality.
GMO is just another one of those Bushie-esque cheats of unhealthy people to find a way to justify eating food high in fat and sugar. "It's not the empty calories in my chips that make them unhealthy, it's the corn syrup gluten GMOs!" More educated unhealthy people, but still Bushies nonetheless.
That's a pretty lazy, inaccurate generalization. I don't know any fat people who lie to themselves via GMOs. If someone knows enough about food to actually care about GMOs, they actually care about their food enough to avoid high fructose corn syrup and other genuinely unhealthy additives.
I don't care who you are, if you cut out or seriously restrict HFCS and gluten in your diet you will almost certainly lose weight and become healthier.
Only insomuch as its hard to avoid those things, so you are forced to make changes. If you just switch from HFCS to a different sugar the difference is negligible.
