What Happens In Ct, Doesn’t Stay In CT
It was news that went viral all over the internet. Connecticut was very close to making history by mandating the labeling of genetically modified organisms in food. RightToKnowCT.org which lead the fight had the support of the public (90% of residents surveyed were in favor!)
However, in lieu of the recent events in the state of Connecticut regarding HB 5117 which would have required the labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) was downgraded, removing a key provision requiring the labeling of all foods containing GMOs, it is clear that the battle for consumers to rightfully know whether or not food contains genetically modified ingredients is going to be intense. This news also spread quickly with angry citizens demanding that their voices be heard and for legislators to take action.
“Despite the will of the people and the intent of the legislators, the GMO labeling bill surprisingly did not go through, was an eye-opening experience, “ said Tara Cook-Littman, Esq., co-founder of RightToKnowCT.org.

Why Aren’t They Proud?
With biotech stocks remaining strong combined with all of the elaborate advertising promoting GMO’s as “being able to feed the rapidly growing overpopulated world” the question still remains, why won’t the biotech industry label something they are so proud of?
Why isn’t biotech proud to label GMO’s in food?
If farmers can look forward to a lucrative and sustainable future, why are there so many law suits popping up against the biotech giants filed by farmers who won’t fall in line? Has biotech monopolized agriculture in such a way that farmers have no choice but to succumb to the rules set by these corporations with deep pockets prohibiting the possibilities for a future in organic farming?

Excellent interview!
Personally, I think GMO’s should be labeled. People have the right to know if what they eat and consume is genetically-modified or not
People have the right to know if what they eat and consume is genetically-modified or not. Thanks that you’ve shared.
In Europe all products containing more than .9 percent GMO are labeled as such. . We would like to believe that our foods come from nature, but that’s far from the case. Currently, 30 other countries have significant restrictions placed on GMOs. But in the US, there is no such standard and people should have the right to what they eat. The main reason the corporation do not want GMO products label here in the USA is because it would cut into their profits. Organic farming is growing about 20% a year and will continue to grow.
PLEASE help me with a question that no one seems to know for sure: are pineapples gmo now? I have been avoiding them, and I have asked several trustworthy sites and the consensus is confusing. They applied to gm them in 2013, and now, every pineapple that I find is from the country designated to have gmo, Costa Rica. I would so appreciate an answer to this. Thanks and God bless!
