I'm not sure it's common knowledge that there is no GMO wheat grown commercially. (Hence, it wasn't a heavy lift for Cheerios to put "No GMO" on the label).
Wheat has been genetically modified by humans for millennia the old fashioned way. I guess it was already Frankenfood 1000 years before Monsanto (or whoever) got ahold of it.
Maybe this has already been determined but I don't know about it...How are the pro-GMO-labelers going to define what constitutes a GMO? If they are looking for a crop that hasn't been modified by humans... good luck finding ANYTHING that isn't GMO. Anybody who has ever raised broilers know its a chicken that cannot exist in nature, yet none of the genes have been modified in a lab.
