Bonehead said:FYI to all those outside of Washington. Our mandatory labeling of GMO referendum failed. I was amazed at how much money was poured into defeating it, primarily by big chemical corporations, which is quite offsetting for me. But, perhaps this will open up discussions and awareness of GMOs in general.
As promised by my local grocer, they are beginning to do in-store labeling of non-GMO products, although so far I've only noticed the labels on packaged foods. I already know that packaged foods are generally chock full of things I likely don't want to ingest, I'm more interested in having whole foods labeled. But, as some have noted, buying local and/or organic produce is a best-practice option.
