Port Townsend Food Coop: A Sad Story of GMO Crop Cross Pollination
In front of the Port Townsend Food Coop, member Jim Salter tells a story of a friend of his in Canada that lost his organic crops because a neighbor #39;s GMO crop spread into his fields. I-522 is an initiative to the Washington State legislature to establish mandatory labeling of foods produced through genetic engineering. As recommended by the Secretary of State, the LabelitWA group needs to turn in at least 320000 signatures to ensure they have 241153 valid signatures by December 31, 2012 in order to get on the November 2013 ballot. I-522, "The People #39;s Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," is simple. The initiative would require food sold in retail outlets to be labeled if the ingredients are produced through genetic engineering. An estimated 70 percent of non-organic processed foods contain some #9472; or several #9472; genetically engineered ingredients. http://www.labelitwa.org http California 2012 Prop 37 Playlist http://www.youtube.com Sponsor RAAW Foods (Non-GMO Project Verified) http://www.raawfoods.comFrom:digitalreporterViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:42More inTravel Events
