It's not the science that I doubt. It's science that causes me to doubt the politically derived approval criteria - allowing GE products for public consumption.
GMO labeling is simply a minor direct heads up to the consumer but in no way provides a reasonable safeguard when such wide and broad use of the products are introduced throughout the entirety of the food production industry. Aside from direct GMO content, there resides indirect GMO products such as livestock feed that ends up becoming part of the steaks and chickens etc. that people also consume. It also penetrates much further into the environment than that, inclusive of the fields growing such products and the wild animals that consume the products, it's an introduction into the entire biosphere. GMO labeling is far from being "middle ground", it's simply a slap in the face courtesy in an already GMO saturated biosphere.
That's my "opinion".
