GMO Labeling: Invitation Only
As the calendar flips over to 2016, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Monsanto and the rest of the GMO junk food industry are growing ever more desperate to prevent Vermont’s GMO labeling law (Act 120) from taking effect on July 1, 2016.
Their next move? A closed-door, invitation only meeting with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack and GMO labeling advocates in the hope of striking a compromise, one that would no doubt preempt Vermont’s law.
Should the GMO labeling movement, which has fought so long and so hard to require food manufacturers to disclose this basic information about their products, settle for anything less than a mandatory labeling law like Vermont’s?
We don’t think so. Vermont’s GMO labeling law must be allowed to take effect July 1, 2016, as scheduled. Then we can talk about potential next steps, including federal regulations or legislation.
We don’t yet know the date of this upcoming meeting, other than that Vilsack has publicly said it would happen in January. OCA hasn’t received an invitation.
But we do know this: Vilsack needs to hear from you, from all of us, now!

The smart move for the product manufacturer’s who do not use GMO in their food is to, label their product “NO GMO’s” talk about their food product flying off the shelves. By natural deduction you can easily see which ones do use GMO’s and push that cart past because they don’t have the “NO GMO’s” label slapped across them.
I’m surprised the advertising company’s who work with these non GMO food manufacturers haven’t clued their client’s in on this inexpensive bonanza on market share.
