Ironically pretty anti-science on GMOs.

You should be careful using the phrase "anti-science" in this context. You can be critical of GMO on a scientific basis.

Adding to this, 'science' as a concept shouldn't imply value judgments. It's not 'anti-science' to not do something just because it's possible. I don't know what kind of philosophical modernism it is exactly that this idea of 'anti-science' comes from, but it's unseemly.

Their support for labeling of genetically modified food is particularly concerning.

Why?

Why?

Because mandatory labeling is baseless fearmongering.

I just don't see any reason why it could ever be an actively bad thing to label what's in food, even if doing so is kind of pointless.
