GMOs

So I recently read that a large amount of the brands I buy contain GMOs! I know that no brand is 100% sure-proof safe and honest, but after recommendations to eat this specific brands I assumed they were pure food but I was wrong! I guess I'm posting this because I'm slightly annoyed about the level of dishonesty that occurs in businesses and marketing. I read this article, which is about California wanting the right to see if the products they are buying contain GMOs. My favorite quote:
"In the US, polls indicate that over 90% of citizens support labeling and the right to choose if they have not been deluged by misleading advertisements paid for by biotechnology corporations. But both Republicans and Democrats in Washington have been unwilling to address the issue, likely due to massive campaign contributions from the biotechnology and agribusiness lobbies"
 Most dissapointing to me? Larabar, Morning Star, Kashi, R.W. Krudsen, Silk, Odwalla, and Naked because these are brands I buy often.

Brands I'm happy to see are safe? Pacific, CLIF, Amys, Annies, Eden, Earthbound Farm, Natures Path, and Applegate.
