....while GMO consists of a large majority of the foods we are eating, since they are in soy, corn, wheat, and other major food crops used in much of our convenience foods including Cheerios, Pepsi, Coke, and even Nestle chocolate, they are not in heirloom, organic foods which many of us would prefer to eat anyhow. But the Association claims GMOs are in 80%of our food supply. The document is also eager to point out that “California’s Proposition 37 in 2012 requiring GMO labeling was defeated and Washington’s Initiative 522 in 2013 requiring GMO labeling was defeated.” A hint to other states thinking of trying to beat this behemoth that contributes money illegally to slush funds promoting GMO? The document goes on to state: “VII. WHAT IS THE RISK TO YOUR STATE OF ADOPTING A GMO LABELING LAW?” • The first state to implement a GMO labeling law will be sued on the constitutional grounds seen in IDFA v. Amestoy. • Litigation in this area could be long, costly and will probably be decided by the Supreme Court. • Your state would proceed with almost no regulatory or scientific basis for a new unique labeling requirement. • Your state would proceed despite not being a part of the “trigger” mechanism required in the Maine and Connecticut legislation.
