Is it not time for the madness to stop?
In October 2016, The New York Times published “Doubts About the Promised Bounty of GMO Crops.” Big-AgWatch.org columnist Dave Dickey says that the newsroom missed the big picture in its report. Learn why in his latest “Food For Thought” blog here.
Big-AgWatch.org columnist Dave Dickey explains why the food industry is high-fiving over the Senate Agriculture Committee’s new GMO labeling bill.
The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday reached a landmark agreement on a new GMO labeling bill pushing for a national system for disclosing genetically engineered ingredients on certain food products.
So, here Congress sits with no clear path forward. The hurdles are significant but generally boil down to two issues: Will there be more Democrat votes with a plan that doesn’t include GMO information directly on labels? And, if such a law somehow does get through the Senate, will the House vote in favor of it? Dave Dickey explores.
