GMO Labeling in Vermont

http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-02-04/food-industry-looks-to-congress-as-gmo-labeling-law-nears
The article explains that the food industry is still trying to oppose the mandatory GMO labeling law that is set to take effect in Vermont in July. The industry is arguing that GMOs are safe and that Vermont does not need to revise their law, while the state wants to start labeling. The food industry continues to fight as the nation looks to make GMO labeling a national standard.
This article is important because it shows that many are still skeptical about the fact that GMOs are in our foods. It also shows that the food industry is either making an effort to make GMOs safe or an effort to make us believe that GMOs are safe. This article has lead to me wondering if the food industry is really making an effort to make GMOs safe, or if instead they are attempting to cover their act up. The article might be helpful in the fact that it shows the fight and shows that we can still continue to revolt against GMOs and the food industry.
