VERMONT BECOMES THE FIRST STATE TO PASS A LAW REQUIRING GMO LABELING Some notable quotes from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, PLUS a link to NPR’s coverage: “The movement against genetically modified crops scored a signal victory Wednesday, as the Vermont legislature passed a bill that would make it the first state to require food makers to label products made with the technology.” “The vast majority of corn and soybeans grown in the U.S. are GMOs, and food companies estimate that about 80% of U.S. packaged-food products contain GMO products in some form.” “There are currently 62 active GMO-labeling bills in legislation in 23 states, according to the Center for Food Safety.” npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/04/24/306442972/bracing-for-a-battle-vermont-passes-gmo-labeling-bill
