But if it isn't for health reasons, why should the government intervene?
Today we're talking about GMOs. In 10 years, consumers might have other concerns. So why should it be the government's role to intervene and not up to the consumers to ask producers to label these products correctly? Producers organize the marketing based on what consumers want. This is seen especially with regard to organic products. Labels currently indicate that they do not contain GMOs. We are already seeing a trend within the industry. I simply have difficulty in understanding why the government should intervene if it isn't for health reasons.
