After GMO Labeling Shot Down, Citizens Start Labeling Themselves


http://www.nationofchange.org/grassroots-after-gmo-labeling-shot-down-citizens-start-labeling-themselves-1352996453

Activists and concerned citizens around the world have had enough with corrupt corporations censoring their right to know what’s in their food, and frankly they’re beyond upset. And if the government will not side with the 90 plus percentage of consumers who are in favor of GMO labeling, then they are going to do it themselves.

As it turns out, many are doing just that through the ‘DIY’ GMO labeling campaign known as ‘The Label It Yourself Campaign’. Sporting a skull with cornstalks for crossbones, the DIY labels inform customers as to whether or not a product ‘may’ include GMO ingredients or most certainly does.

We have a boycott list posted on our fridge - companies that donated to defeat prop 37. We intend to stick to it until we see results in Washington & Vermont, which are the next 2 states pushing for the labeling legislation.
