of the food product. We could have had this conversation years ago when ingredient listing was first done. It is basically the same thing. If I don't want to eat BHT, then I should have a right not to consume it. It is the same with GMO products. I do know the difference between hybrids, grafting, bud grafting and such. I know what wild corn looks like and what it looked like after the native people did selective 'breeding' with it. I can see giving nature a push in a direction. I cannot see putting something unnatural in the genes of a seed.

It's nature vs. unnatural and that's why labeling is important.
