Foods labeled BGH Free are sold everywhere, including places like Safeway. So are foods labeled organic, HFCS free, salt free, low sodium, artificial color free, and even laundry detergents labeled perfume free. Foods labeled GMO Free would be right there at every mainstream grocery right alongside GMO foods, because there would be a market for it.
It might be easy to fantasize that all the anti GMO crowd is just a bunch of fringe nuts, but from the articles I've seen in new sources from all over the United States, plus the overseas English language press, concern about GMOs in food cuts a pretty wide path across gender, race, education levels, class, and income levels. Even my hard core Republican brother who lives in South Florida is raging against GMOs in emails he sends me, he is a big proponent of labeling so people have what he refers to as "The fundamental American freedom of choice."
