Except being completely informed on every single purchasing decision is a full-time job. I know in your fantasy Libertard world, every person is willing to come home from work and do a 5 hour research project on every consumption decision they'll make. But some of us work for a living, and not smoke pot all day and plagiarize Milton Friedman articles on Everquest forums like you.

And I laid out an idea of how the free market could solve the problem using labeling, but you probably ignored that part due to inability to comprehend the sheer genius of it.
We live in the information age. The pro-government argument regarding difficulty of obtaining information is becoming more and more ludicrous. Get with the 21st century. In order to get the proposition passed, you needed half of California to agree. That's 20 million people, roughly. If it takes 100 man hours to determine if a single product is GMO, and you could only convince 5% of those who would vote on such a thing to put in a single hour of research, then you could correctly classify 10,000 products. Or we could pass a law that will probably cost tens of millions each year to implement and maintain. Do you not see the sheer absurdity of such a program?
