Article: Vermont law requires labeling of GMO foods
The subheading reads: "Online fundraiser is launched to fight expected legal battles."
The law was signed on Thursday but it's expected to be challenged by the food industry. If it's not defeated, it will take effect around mid-2016. And it was all started by an 11 year old girl who started a letter-writing campaign.
The gov., Peter Shumlin, is asking for monetary support on the internet and has set up a new website for that purpose. But in the article, published by the Daily Sun, the website has been edited out.
A lot of good it's going to do to have a website if no one knows the web address.
On a positive note, I'm glad that Vermont has taken this first step. I hope other states will eventually follow their lead.
