labeling is an end-around on GMO bans because the anti-GMO campaign has been so successful at causing suspicion in the population to try and get "the informed market" to abandon them in the marketplace.

But for a true celebrant of individual freedom and freedom of speech, shouldn't the answer be more speech. It's not like the megacorps behind these GMO foods don't have the money to fight that information war. Indeed, our political discussions on their spending in our campaigns is more relevantly worried about their being able to overwhelm all other parties in the battle in the marketplace of ideas.

One of the reasons why we focus on you can also be seen in this case. It's remarkable how you are willing to bend over backwards to protect the interest of these megacorps, even at the cost of what one might think to be your true principles of freedom.
