Since when is Mexico protecting its people from US corn? Thats awesome.. in other GMO News from Huff Post... County Council for the island of Kauai passed a law that mandates farms to disclose pesticide use and the presence of genetically modified crops. The bill also requires a 500-foot buffer zone near medical facilities, schools and homes -- among other locations. And the big island of Hawaii County Council gave preliminary approval to a bill that prohibits open air cultivation, propagation, development or testing of genetically engineered crops or plants. The bill, which still needs further confirmation to become law, would also prohibit biotech companies from operating on the Big Island. In Washington state, the mail-in ballot states voters are already weighing in on Initiative 522, which would mandate the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In fact, GMA, Monsanto and a handful of other corporate donors have now broken a state record by pouring more than $17 million into their effort to stop Washingtons GMO labeling ballot initiative. Nobody knows whats going to happen in Washington between now and November 5. But from Mexico, to Hawaii and to the 64 nations that already have GMO labeling, this tide just might be turning. huffingtonpost/ocean-robbins/huge-gmo-news_b_4129311.html
