Most reasonable people accept that the Earth is round, that the Universe is 13.7 billion years old, that evolution is by far the only reasonable explanation for how we, as a species, came to be. They go to their doctors who treat them with drugs and vaccines that have been proven to work over long periods of trials. They go to work or the store in automobiles that have been designed to be safer and more efficient than ever before. And on and on it goes. Why? Because science has proven these things time and time again.
Yet for some strange reason and against all the science, some otherwise reasonable people don't trust GMOs which have *never* been shown to be dangerous in any manner. Oh, sure, you have crackpots and the notoriously vapid Food Babe pushing against GMOs as they pad their bottom lines on the crap they sell to believers, but they are not scientists, they don't do research (except for Google University) and they completely steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the actual science while dismissively hand-waving GMO supporters away as "corporate shills."
This legislation is little more than a play by anti-GMO fear-mongerers, people who refuse to acknowledge not only the science, but the fact that GM technology offers products that are cheaper, more productive, and more eco-friendly. That means more people get fed for less money. These are people of privilege trying to scare the poors into adopting their own eating habits. This law is unnecessary, meaningless, and a very very expensive and worthless use of good money that could help people who don't have enough food to eat or clothes to wear or wood to burn over the long Vermont winters. Why would any reasonable person want to participate in that?
Re: “U.S. House Passes Bill to Block State GMO Labeling Laws”
The democrats aren't always on the wrong side of an issue, but when they are, they support GMO labeling.
