GMO hysteria really is one of the worst things about the modern American left.

This.  There is no evidence to suggest GMO food is harmful, or in anyway different than non-GMO food. 

If companies want to advertise their food as GMO free, that's completely fine (as long as its true, of course).  But companies shouldn't be required to provide information on something that is completely irrelevant to the quality of the product, just to satisfy the paranoia of a certain slice of the population.

Anti-vaxxers are probably the only thing that's worse.

That is true, since anti-vaxxers are more harmful to society.  Anti-vaxxers on the left probably come from the same place as the anti-GMO crowd, but there are also a lot of right wing anti-vaxxers.

If you don't support including GMO information in food labeling then you're not left-wing, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, disagreement on a single issue means being cast out. Classy. 

Nobody gets to determine who's left wing or not, that's not how ideology works. I still think of myself and call myself left wing, if that bothers you, its your problem, not mine.

If you actually read what's being said, you'll see that people are saying the exact opposite of this, that anti-vaxxers are worse.

So far, people on this board have determined Bernie Sanders: has issues with black people, wants to close the borders because he hates mexicans, and now apparently is anti-GMO. You can't just disagree with him, or take his statements for what they are, everything that comes out of his mouth (or in this case, his facebook page) must be indicative of the most cartoonishly stupid position possible.

Bernie Sanders is some old boring socialist activist/harmless hippy and some posters have actually called him "despicable." The hyperbole here drives me up a wall.

The Sanders camp has done everything it can to make peace with the BLM movement.  I disagree with him on immigration and GMO, but that doesn't make him despicable.  The backlash really isn't about Sanders, its more his supporters.  At least, that's the feel I get from the situation.

Start slapping an asterisk saying a product has been genetically modified on every other item in the produce section and people will move on with their lives, realizing that lettuce they've been eating since they were 9 hasn't made them grow a toe on their forehead, and they'll move on.

Alternatively, we could see what happened with vaccines.  People use vaccines as a scapegoat for their problems (autism, in this case).  I doubt that labeling products as GMO would do anything to quell this perception, if anything it would perpetuate it as people begin wonder 'what if 'x' is because of this cereal I've been eating for years?'
