Moronic, luddite democrats (a redundancy, I admit) prefer DarkAges "science free" food markets (and punish consumers at the same time!) -Washington State vs. GMO Foods

Blog: Washington State vs. GMO Foods:

The fundamental illogic of the measure is best explained by analogy. Suppose someone were to propose the following initiative:

All residents of the State of Washington will be required to wear and prominently display badges stating that they are not policemen. Only active policemen will be exempt from this requirement.

You would conclude that the proposer either had a paranoid fixation about policemen or was in the business of selling badges. 
The sensible alternative would be for policemen to be the only ones who need to wear badges.

I-522 has the same sort of upside-down logic. 
Instead of allowing GMO-free foods to carry special labels -- as is the current procedure for organic and gluten-free foods -- I-522 would require that everyone else be compelled to attach special labels to their products, thereby forcing them to incur extra expense and liability. 
Obviously, the real objective of the I-522 sponsors is to harass and penalize producers of GMO-containing foods -- at a considerable cost to the public in increased food prices and taxes.

Such a measure might be permissible for ingredients that are known to be toxic, like mercury in seafood. However, the proposers have not cited a single case where a GMO-containing food has been shown to have a harmful effect on consumers. 
Moreover, the use of GMO-containing foods has been endorsed by the American Medical Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Washington State Academy of Sciences. 
So why all the fuss?
