The slippery slope is already being invoked with the labeling.
More to the point, it's not an "extreme hypothetical," as the basis for labeling GMOs is that "the consumer has a right to know" information that is irrelevant to its experience.
A good argument from you would be to explain why GMO labeling is necessary information, thus explaining why introducing other hypothetical labeling information that a "consumer has the right to know" would be unnecessary. It's telling that you instead chose this direction, distracting from the topic in order to advance some false point.

Sorry to ruin your party, though.
