Procon.org itself says that he is not clearly pro or con on this issue.

It may not be likely that one would hold opposing views on labeling laws in these two cases, but I'd rather not read too much into this, especially considering it goes against everything else the man believes. And trust me, I'll ask him to clarify on this issue the next chance I get.

Also, to add to the distinction, we're not even sure if GMO food is bad. Apparently quite a few of the hippies in California didn't think so. And if you can't convince Californians to vote against Monsanto, that makes me think the case is very weak. Many people could care less if the food has GMO labeling, and GMO labelists are pushing this issue because people may then just assume that GMO = bad because it's labeled as such.
There's actually a gulf of difference between forcing labeling because an ingredient can kill those with a certain disease, and forcing labeling because a product may possibly give you cancer in 40 years, though we're not sure about that.
