The use of the word "organic" is disingenious at best.

I don't have a problem with proper labelling. If any part of a food item was
irradiated or genetically modified, for example, I think the public should
know.

What the public has no right to do is demand that laws be created banning
such foods. The surest way to stop such foods is not to ban them, but to not
buy them. If enough people don't buy them, then they won't be sold. If
enough people do want them, then they should be sold. The marketplace solves
these problems on its own, as long as the public can make informed
decisions, and takes the time and effort to become properly informed.
