|
| 3/3/2011 - A recent MSNBC Health poll that asked the question, "Do you believe genetically modified foods should be labeled?" concluded with overwhelming public support for transparency in food labeling.

|
| 2/28/2011 - More and more consumers and corporations are touting the benefits of "local" foods, often described as "sustainable," "healthy," or "natural."

 | 2/18/2011 - There's been a war of words brewing lately between Ronnie Cummins at the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org) and Whole Foods, which has reluctantly embraced a philosophy of "coexistence" between GMO and non-GMO crops.

|
 | 2/16/2011 - This month, the Millions Against Monsanto Truth-in-Labeling Campaign will start taking matters into our own hands. We're sticking "Oh No!

| 2/11/2011 - Mexican officials seem to have more common sense than American officials, with their continued denouncement of Monsanto's genetically-modified (GM) corn.

|
 | 1/25/2011 - It's one of the most common false arguments of GMO pushers: There's nothing to be worried about with genetically modified foods, they argue, because almost everything is genetically modified, they claim.
