I agree with your sentiment, but I fail to see how it applies to what I was replying to.



> I would argue that saying all GMO products are equal and the entire concept is safe is also not correct.

GMO products are as (un)safe as all other products. This label just has not meaning related to safety. You can create harmful products using GM or by x-ray irradiation (which doesn't count as GM) or by using fertilizers. The "non-GMO" label is simply misleading, it doesn't mean what people think it means.

> To me, "GMOs are totally safe" sounds a lot like saying "chemicals are totally safe."

So do you suggest to print on every product (food or not) "chemical-free"?
