What’s also interesting to note about this legislation, which is similar to Prop 37, is that it’s really the farthest in the legal system that any such bill has gotten.
Prop 37 ultimately came down to a vote
in California, and we know there was extreme foul play there with the
Monsanto-backed organizations who sought to sabotage the entire GMO
labeling initiative due to profit incentives, but the Vermont bill here
can quite simply be passed by the Senate and be on its way to
implementation.
I am very hopeful about this bill, and I think if we gather enough activism on this front we can send a message to the Vermont Senate that
effectively reads:
We will not tolerate Senators who betray the health
of the public for profits and lobbyist relationships.
I encourage
everyone, whether you live in Vermont or not, to generate awareness over
this issue. Share this article far and wide, and start demanding that
GMO labeling be taken seriously.
