I'm of two minds on this. As the author pointed out, it would be helpful to know what type of GM was performed. However, I doubt the public would differentiate the information much, anyway.

I suppose as long as a manufacturer can label their product as non-GMO, then people can find the product they want, even if the reasoning is shaky.

I recall Monsanto going after Ben & Jerry's for labelling their ice cream as 'hormone free' or something to the effect. Monsanto argued that since the hormones they used were deemed safe, then B&J shouldn't be able to differentiate. I don't agree with that position, and I wouldn't agree with it in the case of GMO either.

Otherwise, if you could demonstrate that there wasn't any difference between Kosher and non-Kosher...
