Vt. rally pushes for GMO labeling law

Vt. rally pushes for GMO labeling law

However, the Vermont activists alleged those two states' laws are not really laws, because they don't actually take effect until a certain number of other states also pass labeling laws.

Zuckerman said he wants to see a GMO labeling bill that does not have a clause requiring other states to also pass laws. He acknowledged convincing some colleagues in the state Senate to take the leap will be a challenge.Full Report Here | Vt. rally pushes for GMO labeling law
