Trump's pick for EPA pollution czar says kids are less sensitive to pollution than adults

Agreed, but “people who say GMOs shouldn’t be labeled” is a problematic example because it is about labeling rather than data collection. The information should be available, but whether it should be automatically displayed on packaging is a separate question. Just putting a label is not a neutral act, it implies that the information is known to be worth knowing, that knowing it might warrant changing behavior, that it’s worth taking up valuable package surface area to display. Personally I’d use the US ban on using federal funds for gun violence research as an example.
