This is kind of a big deal. Surprised we didn't hear more about this when it happened (or not.)
Labeling GMOs isn't going to happen in one big swoop, and this is a big first step! The whole Non-GMO Project thing rocks. Let's get every food with GMO's labeled!

The Agriculture Department approved a label to show that meat certified by the Non-GMO Project came from animals that never ate feed containing genetically engineered ingredients.

School is supposed to be about education, not brainwashing.
Among the other completely inaccurate (and grossly distorted) facts is reinforcing the notion that food can only be grown far away from home on a large farm: (using an apple to describe the amount of land available for food production) 'If you cut this piece of apple into four equal pieces, you would find that three of those pieces are for cities, neighborhoods, homes, schools and stores — places where we can live, but can’t grow food.'

I hate to break it to them, but I grow quite a bit of food where I live.

great article! There are so many issues facing food production and we are thankful for every single person who is helping to get us out from under the consolidated food system that currently feeds our country.

We called our senator Sherrod Brown today to ask him to support the repeal (and thank him for his support of local farmers and food programs). Please take a few seconds and do the same with yours!

The so-called Monsanto Protection Act signed into law earlier this year caused such an outrage that people around the world are planning to protest the biotech company later this month. Now a United States Senator is expected to try and repeal that law after mounting pressure. The notorious ‘Monsant...

“This particular amendment would interfere with the FDA’s science-based process to determine what food labeling is necessary for consumers,” Stabenow said. (D-Mich)

It's hard to understand how Senators (both republicans and democrats) can claim to promote individual freedom and right to choose, while denying us the information we need to make educated decisions, and also apparently stating that the FDA gets to determine what information we do need.

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, the U.S. Senate voted 71 to 27 against an amendment to the farm bill that would have simply allowed states to decide for themselves if they wanted to require the labeling of foods that contain harmful genetically modified ingredients. Sen...
