Tiny Vermont Brings Food Industry To Its Knees On GMO Labels (ap.org)
schwit1 writes: General Mills' announcement on Friday that it will start labeling products that contain genetically modified ingredients to comply with a Vermont law shows food companies might be throwing in the towel, even as they hold out hope Congress will find a national solution. Tiny Vermont is the first state to require such labeling, effective July 1. Its fellow New England states of Maine and Connecticut have passed laws that require such labeling if other nearby states put one into effect. The U.S. Senate voted 48-49 Wednesday against a bill that would have blocked such state laws. The food industry is holding out hope that Congress will prevent states from requiring such labeling. Some companies say they plan to follow Vermont's law, while others are considering pulling their products from the small state.
The American media is solidly left-wing and has been so since the days of Vietnam when they turned Peace With Honor in 1972 into the perception of a defeat in 1975. The crimes of socialism are responsible for the negative reputation of socialism. What did the North Vietnamese do in 1975 that could have tarnished the reputation? Oh, right, invading and conquering another country with tanks, and then murdering the right-wingers. Who has even heard of this history?
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
the media haven't been left wing for thirty years or more,and it's getting far right wing for the last 10-20 years. You REALLY missed the 70's, didn't you? Stop pretending the world is still the same halcyon days where you didn't notice anyone different from you anyhwere in your sight and everything looked to be proving God Loves America (tm).
