Lawmakers Expect Legal Challenge If GMO Label Bill Passes

Lawmakers are trying to craft the measure so it can withstand an expected court challenge.

Windham Rep. Carolyn Partridge chairs the House Agriculture Committee. If the bill passes, she expects it to be challenged in court by biotech companies or trade associations. But Partridge says lawmakers have worked to hone the legislation to withstand the inevitable legal battle.

1. If there is nothing wrong with GMO then why do they have such a problem with the label??

I think they have much to hide and should come clean
