I didn't say, in my previous post, that GMO's are more likely to contain allergens, although that is a legitimate concern for some people. The point I was making is that the food industry doesn't only object to labeling regulations for GMO's; it objects to labeling regulations IN GENERAL even when serious health issues are involved -- and the most recent example of that was in their decades long fight with Sen. Kennedy.
And yet, for all the industry's concern about the dire consequences of labeling allergens, they survived. And they will also survive labeling of GMO's, no matter what dire effects they are predicting now. They are the industry that cried wolf, and most progressives are tired of their bleating.
