2. 'Deny American's the Right to Know'

It is a disastrous bill about GMO labeling. Monsanto does not want consumers to know what is in their food and corporations want the SpyWare of the QR code they want each of us to scan with a SmartPhone app in order to find out the food product label. The Senate just passed it and it went to the House for a vote yesterday, June 14, 2016. It must have stalled out, for I can't find anything on how the vote went.

Here is a petition to Pres. Obama about it:

VETO the DARK Act!

4. Thanks for the info. :)

one would thing that Michelle Obama being into healthy food and exercise would try to influence the president not to sign this bill.

(I assume that this amended S764 is what is meant by the 'DARK Act,' right?)

5. TY kindly for these links and information!

I will read over it closer this weekend.
Very disappointing to see the vote was so strong to pass it.

Terrible wording in the bill. The organic industry will not be happy with this. Monsanto won. How depressing.
