4. Buying organic wouldn't be so expensive if GMO labeling were mandated

because fewer and fewer people would buy GMO foods. Many are not educated or informed. It isn't just me. There should always be transparency. GMO foods would disappear most likely unless there was a mass that continued to buy them which could happen if they remain really cheap compared to organic. BTW, does the label "organic" mean the same in all states and is that totally without GMO and is it without pesticides?

My state will probably never require labeling. I just assume things that don't say "100% organic," Hoyt Mar 2016 #1

I don't think so. If something doesn't have GMOs, producer is going to label it as "100% Organic" Hoyt Mar 2016 #5
