Oh come on lets not make me say something I didn't say. I gave a plausible way to label the product, all I said is that if you slap a giant red label saying "WARNING CONTAINS GMOs" that it will unnecessarily scare people off.

Similarly, you think that vaccines are good right? Vaccines can also cause a lot of side-effects. Do you think a doctor should be required, before administering a shot, to announce every potential side-effect without any context on how probable it is?

I'm not saying that informed consumers are bad, just that you need to inform without simply scaring them away.

Edit: Or what about if the vaccine-autism crazies pass a law saying that a doctor must start by saying "Some people believe that there is a connection between vaccine and autism".
