4. Because a lot of people don't like it

and I want to know what's in my food. GMO is different than hybrid. A lot of people conflate the two. If it's a GMO that could never happen in nature, I don't want it in my body. And, if it is labeled GMO, I have a way to look it up and see if it's something I want in my body.

I don't know what the big deal is, it's adding one more 'ingredient' to the listing that's already on the package. Hell, what if one of the GMO's has a gene from a peanut that is pushed into it's dna, and it causes someone's death because of allergies. Pushing frankenfoods as being safe is crazy. We put food into our bodies every day. They do more testing on drugs, for longer periods of time than they do on various GMOs. We are supposed to trust these money grubbing CEOs? I don't think so.
