Proud to be a citizen of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and attend the hearing on GMO labeling - the auditorium was packed with supporters: from farmers to store owners, scientists and medical doctors to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Dean's Beans, and the Northeast Organic Farming Association. So proud that over 75% of our state legislators support GMO labeling and many even testified, the expert witnesses were astounding and there was a wealth of common sense: 64 countries label GMOs.
Also grateful that our Massachusetts Attorney General filed on behalf of Vermont's right as a state to label GMO - imagine the Federal Government is trying to take away a State's individual rights? Hmmm . . . Any idea when the D.A.R.K. Act hearing in Washington might be? Think I'll be taking a road trip with a few friends.
To GMO industry: I'd rather the right to choose be confused/misguided* than uninformed #justlabelit
p.s. Remember the last time a large organization tried to mess with New England farmers and our citizens.
Best health always,
Supermom-in-training
