Genetically Engineered foods, ie. foreign DNA introduced in a lab, yes.

Genetically Modified, ie. every conventionally bred hybrid or naturally occuring selected OP varieties, no. The average consumer won't buy good ol' Butter & Sugar or Silver Queen sweet corn from the roadside farmer when he/she's got to hang a GMO advisory on their farmstand.

When the time comes, I hope they get the terminology correct so there are no unintended consequences. I have little to no faith in them to do so.
