This is a problem we've managed to solve for dozens of other dietary preferences, from kosher status to gluten-free, without insisting on mandatory labeling. Why is GMO so special?

It's hard to believe the sincerity of your claim, given that you can reasonably infer anything not advertising itself as "non-GMO" contains GMO.

Do you think that I have the right to have my food correctly labeled?

It seems to me that a lot of food is labeled as kosher, low fat, sugar free, contains peanuts, gluten-free, etc. I am not sure where your comment comes from.

> a lot of food is labeled as kosher, low fat, sugar free, contains peanuts, gluten-free, etc

His point is that all of these labels are voluntary. There is no need to enforce a law mandating these labels.

I believe that some food companies are trying to make non-gmo labeling illegal.

Do you think it should be illegal for a food supplier to add a 'non-gmo' label?

Of course not. That's silly. However, the supplier should only add that label if it actually is void of GMOs.
