How so? Genetically modified is genetically modified, whether you do it by selecting two racehorses to breed together, by covering flower fruits so you can pollenate them by hand, or combining genes from different breeds.

If not, there would be no need for such labeling. If everything was genetically modified then there would be need to differentiate GMO from non-GMO.

What definition are you using? Every single thing you eat is already genetically modified. Where shall we draw the line?
I have many concerns about our abilities to genetically modify crops and the inadvertent results of changing them, we've been doing genetic modifications for thousands of years. But my concerns lay more with pest resistence, removing original crops from gene pool availability, monogenetic crops, etc.
