Ok, not to beat this into the ground any more, but labeling some plant-based equivalent as GMO says nothing about what the actual GM is, just that it's there. The label is opposed for marketing reasons, that's all. Back in the day of better things for better living through chemistry, the GMO label might have been considered a selling point. Now, not so much. It's sort of the opposite of an "organic" label. It probably can't be shown scientifically that organic plants are better, or GMO plants are worse nutritionally. Here in America's Dairyland, dairy farmers actually fought for a rBGH (genetically engineered Bovine Growth Hormone) labeling requirement on milk. They didn't want to be forced into an arms race on milk production.
