Make Vermont Label GMO Foods
Urge the Vermont Legislature to vote to pass the (H-722) bill requiring genetically engineered foods to be accordingly labeled.
Why is this important?
Vermont is facing a lawsuit threat from Monsanto in regards to a bill that would force genetically engineered food to be appropriately labeled (H-722). The bill has yet to be voted on, but it has the majority of public approval. We are calling on the Vermont Legislature to side with the public and face Monsanto. The people have a right to know what they are eating and where their food comes from. For some, it is an ethical imperative to know how their food was produced as we move toward a sustainable globalized future. We have until the beginning of May to have this bill voted on, at which point the legislative session ends.
