I agree people are stupid, many companies aren't trustworthy, and the GMO fear is overblown. However, if stupid people want to avoid buying certain products based upon the ingredients I think they should be able to do so. People have the right to decline vaccinations. I have to deal with people every week with "AMA" issues, against medical advice. Sometimes it's flat out ridiculous. But, we have the right to self determination, correct? Sometimes the best we can do is give them the information.
