What you're asking for is not remotely feasible. You'd need double blind trials any time a genetic modification was made to anything. The fact that some plants and animals we consume reproduce sexually, plus the fact that random genetic mutation can occur even in species that reproduce asexually, means that you could never be sure about anything.

If modified organisms are so beneficial, it's free advertising.

Of course, if there is some unanticipated or unmeasured negative, it's truth in advertising.

Either way the consumer wins.

The FDA should be looking more closely at these products and making judgements on their safety levels.

Every new strain of plant or animal should get this treatment, GM or otherwise. Selective breeding can give you the same sorts of results in many cases.

Much like the anti-vaccers and the people upset over chemtrails.

Just label the GMO food already and let consumers decide, instead of big corner-cutting corporations.
