I personally think it should be like kosher certification or hormone-free labeling... products can use 'GE Free' certification as a selling point, without requiring regulation at all.
Well, we agree then. Companies can (and do) already label their food as "GMO free". What I'm against is mandatory labelling.
As for the method being different...yes, of course it is, but I wasn't aware that was controversial. AFAIK, nobody is claiming that GE is the same as selective breeding. The question is whether or not the GMOs are frankenfood that will give you cancer of the AIDS and make you grow an eye on your back.
