Dear Friends and Colleagues

*There’s Nothing Parochial About the Issue of GMO Food Labeling*
by Jonathan Latham, PhD

https://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/theres-nothing-
parochial-about-the-issue-of-gmo-food-labeling/

*Synopsis:* Last week, Michael Pollan, Olivier de Schutter, Mark Bittman
and Ricardo Salvador called GMO labeling “parochial“. They are mistaken.
GMOs are the leading edge of agribusiness strategy in intellectual,
financial, and legal senses. They have enabled huge profits and leveraged
the concentration of the global seed supply. Labeling, on the other hand,
is a mechanism for introducing democracy and the protection of consumer
rights, possibilities that are everywhere in short supply. It should not be
dismissed or diminished.

Please consider sharing this article.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
