In July, the state of Vermont will require explicit labeling for all foods made with GMOs. New York State is considering similar legislation, and other states are preparing to roll out their own versions of the Vermont law. But why? No study has shown GMOs to be dangerous or harmful. Critics say there's still plenty we don't know; even Bernie Sanders tweets regularly about it.
Our panel discusses GMOs and the possible impact of a state labeling requirement. Our guests:
- Jane Andrews, nutrition and product labeling manager, Wegmans
- Matt Kelly, writer and photographer, Boomtown Table
- Anthony Shelton, professor of entomology and associate director of international programs, Cornell University
