 Thursday, January 2, 2014 GMO and ‘Natural’ Food Fight: Treacherous
Terrain in 2014<http://www.activistpost.com/2014/01/gmo-and-natural-food-fight-treacherous.html>

*Ronnie Cummins*


2014 is shaping up to be a decisive year for the future of food and farming
. . . Grassroots activists are gearing up for new legislative battles,
including state GMO labeling laws . . . For more than two decades, Monsanto
and Big Food have poisoned and profited with impunity, thanks to the U.S.
FDA’s reckless 1992
dictate<http://www.organicconsumers.org/foodsafety/vioxx041805.cfm>that
pesticide-drenched (Roundup-resistant) or insecticide-impregnated
(Bt-spliced) crops and foods are “safe and substantially equivalent” to
non-GE foods . . . Now, the Biotech Bullies and Junk Food Giants are under
siege by a well-informed and passionate grassroots food movement . . .
