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.

I mean it's not like people deserve to know what's in their food.

Even then, corporations are there to make profit, and if people buy more organic food, the corporation will ultimately have to switch more towards organics so they can be profitable. Isn't that an essential part of a "free market" economy? Businesses need to adjust to survive in a competitive environment?

People deserve to know what's in their food, and it's wrong for many of you to side with businesses instead of the consumers.
