Sent it to a couple of canadian friends, I hope they pass it

In a more sane world, this wouldn't be necessary, because consumers would demand it from producers, stores and vendors. It costs very little to label them, and for a lot of people it makes a difference.

Rather than more laws, I'd prefer to see producers of non-GMO products label them as such, and in that way possibly gain a slightly better market share over their competitors who either sell GMO products, or haven't thought of labeling their non-GMO items for extra sales.
