Well, the snakes are at it again. This was hidden on the finance page and couldn't be found on Reuters, where it originated.
Personally, I'd like to know what is in my food. Why won't they allow me to decide what I want to feed my family?

U.S. House committee approves anti-GMO labeling law

July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. food companies and other opponents of genetically modified food labeling notched a key victory on Tuesday as the House Agriculture Committee approved a measure banning mandatory labeling as well as local efforts to regulate genetically engineered crops.
The move demonstrates fresh momentum for those seeking to block mandated labeling of foods made with GMO crops, food industry advocates said.
They say the bill is objectionable not only because it would overturn state GMO labeling laws, but because it also prevents state and local governments from regulating GMO crops, and would keep the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from creating a mandatory GMO labeling standard.
