You may see a simple sticker and think "how difficult is that?", but it is actually quite costly to label and separate every GMO and non-GMO product. You have to think about the cost of labeling and the regulation therein, taxes, how it will affect trade...this isn't a simple "let's just keep everyone informed" issue. Oregon's state government did a study that estimated the cost would be nearly $1 billion a year in that state alone. New York did a study that estimated the cost to the consumer will end up being close to $800 a year.
Just assume everything is a GMO. Likely, it is on some level.
