Vermont GMO labeling bill (H.112), which passed the VT House last May by a wide margin, is now being debated in the Vermont Senate. H.112 would require that foods made with genetically engineered (GMO) substances be labeled as such.
Success in the House -- in the face of well-financed opposition by a number of global chemical and food corporations -- was due to thousands of Vermonters who contacted their representatives and told them -- loudly and clearly -- to support H.112.
As in the House, passage of H.112 in the Senate and final enactment into law, will require thousands of Vermonters to let their voices be heard by their Senators and in their communities. The opposition's lobbyists and PR people are already at work in the Statehouse. They are is determined to kill this legislation -- no matter the cost.
