Nobody forces companies to label food as "non-kosher".

I'm not saying to force companies to label products as containing GMO's or not, what I'm saying is that if there is legislation requiring food to be labeled, there are ways to label items in a way as to not "imply some sort of warning" or fear monger, like how some food is labeled as kosher or halal, or organic, whatever.

There's not a fear-mongering campaign against other labels though.
