Would Your Congress Member Vote to Wipe Out States’ Rights to Label GMOs? 16.5.2013 Organic Consumers Association News Headlines

The Vermont House has passed a state law requiring mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms. Maine just passed a similar law out of the House Agricultural Committee. Washington State’s I-522, a citizens’ initiative to label GMOs, seems certain to pass in November. Almost equally certain, the big junk food manufacturers aren’t likely to throw millions into the pot to defeat I-522, as they did last year to defeat, by a only a razor-thin margin, California’s GMO labeling initiative, Prop 37. So what’s Monsanto to do? Rumor has it, the biotech bully will try to slip a rider or amendment into the 2013 Farm Bill that would preempt or nullify any state GMO labeling law. Surely Congress wouldn’t let Monsanto get away with that. Right? Don’t count on it.

Minnesotan Alexander P. Anderson was the father of puffed rice cereal 7.5.2013 MinnPost
Courtesy of the Minnesota Historical Society Alexander P. Anderson with the cannon he used to invent puffed grain for cereals, March 1933. In December 1901, botanist Alexander Pierce Anderson created puffed rice while experimenting with starch crystals in his laboratory. Although he did not yet realize the significance of his discovery, Anderson's new breakfast food would make him a nationally known figure and the face of a Quaker Oats advertising campaign for almost a decade. Explosions echoing from the laboratory of Alexander Pierce Anderson were just the first step in a process that brought fame to the botanist. His December 1901 experiment produced "puffed" rice, a starting point for a new cereal that was advertised as "Food Shot From Guns". Anderson, born to Swedish immigrant parents on November 23, 1862, grew up in Spring Creek valley, ten miles from Red Wing, Minnesota. He seemed destined to follow his father into farming but changed course at twenty-seven, entering the ...
