I think in medicine you expect evidence or at least a plausible hypothesis. There is no evidence that GMOs are the least bit unhealthy. There's no plausible hypothesis as to how they would be unhealthy. Thus, there's no reason to label them.
It's like when you're trying to get a drug approved by the FDA. You have to show a "mechanism of action," how this chemical compound will interact with some part of a disease or a person's body to create the desired result. Nobody has even offered a guess as to the mechanism for how GMOs could pose a risk.
The fact is, your digestive system doesn't interact with your food at the level of genes. You're eating it, not having sex with it. Genes are one level removed from the digestive process. You need to be talking about, what is in the food, not what is in the food's genes.
