Not Genetically Unmodified

There are more and more food products being promoted as non-GMO. I don’t have a problem with the products themselves, or the idea of the products.
What bothers me is the negative in the term “non-GMO”. If you want to promote something, you can’t label it as non-whatever. You need a positive spin on it, or its own acronym or something.
Here are some suggestions:
- GUO – Genetically Unmodified Organism
- GOO – Genetically Original Organism
- GIO – Genetically Intact Organism
- GNO – Genetically Natural Organism
GUO would be a problem because the “un” in the middle term is a negative, which is what I’m trying to prevent with a new name.
GNO would be a problem because its pronunciation is too close to GMO.
I also don’t like the O being for Organism. This is all in regards to food, right? The word organism is not appetizing. So we could change the O to an F and get GIF – Genetically Intact Food.
