Americans determined to know what is being put in their food will have a much more difficult task after President Obama signs a new bill that effectively protects biotech giants.
Although he once campaigned on the idea that people “have a right to know what they’re buying”, Obama has since reversed his stance on GMO’s and made his administration one of the most friendly towards corporations like Monsanto. Thus, it will be no surprise if he signs the so-called Dark Act, a piece of legislation that makes labeling of GMO’s the exclusive province of the federal government.
At first glance, this might seem like exactly what anti-GMO activists have been calling for: mandatory labeling of food products made through GMO processing. The way the labels will be written however, is so vague and inaccessible to consumers that it defeats the whole purpose of the measure, allowing Monsanto and rival corporations to run roughshod over the food we eat.

I dispise Obama with a passion but … you realize gmos are in 80% of all crops grown in the US right?
Hershey
Gatorade
Coco cola
General Mills
They all use sugar that are gmo grown.
Those are just a couple of the major companies.
Where does the gmo labeling stop? About 93% of cotton is gmo. Will t-shirts be labeled also? How about beet pellets pressed from beets grown from them? Will that be labeled gmo when it’s sold to farmers who feed there cows with it? Will than the beef from these cows be labeled gmo??
The proposed labeling isn’t vague. It’s a qr code people can scan with there phones, since everyone an there 6 year old kid is glued to there phones now days. When it comes to this stuff everyone goes full retard an listens to the media instead of forming there own opinion. Anyone who’s crying it’s not ok go drink bleach. Thats gmo free.
If I consume it, I want to know if it is GMO or GMA.
Most of the seeds you’ll buy…. will have gmos!!!! O scary!!! Don’t be a moron you’d realize most everything already has gmo in it. That coffee your probably drinking…. most l was grown with gmo seeds. Same with the sugar your adding in it.
Obama needs to be put under house arrest and all his powers striped and then deport his traitor ass
Why will monsantos go result in no seed for public reproduction as in residential gardening?
Meanwhile in Illinois 60 children were treated for toxic chemical exposure while trying to earn a paycheck detasseling corn.
