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.
If all foods are already genetically modified then which foods were going to be required to be labeled under the new law? By the way, Prop 37 used pretty much the same language as the law in Europe which requires GMOs to be labeled. Since you are the expert, you can explain to everyone which GMOs are required to be labeled since you think all foods are GMOs.
