On a recent sunny morning at the Big Y grocery here, Cynthia LaPier parked her cart in the cereal aisle. With a glance over her shoulder and a quick check of the ingredients, she plastered several boxes with hand-designed stickers from a roll in her purse. “Warning,” they read. “May Contain GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms).”
For more than a decade, almost all processed foods in the United States — cereals, snack foods, salad dressings — have contained ingredients from plants whose DNA was manipulated in a laboratory. Regulators and many scientists say these pose no danger. But as Americans ask more pointed questions about what they are eating, popular suspicions about the health and environmental effects of biotechnology are fueling a movement to require that food from genetically modified crops be labeled, if not eliminated.
Labeling bills have been proposed in more than a dozen states over the last year, and an appeal to the Food and Drug Administration last fall to mandate labels nationally drew more than a million signatures. There is an iPhoneapp: ShopNoGMO.
The most closely watched labeling effort is a proposed ballot initiative in California that cleared a crucial hurdle this month, setting the stage for a probable November vote that could influence not just food packaging but the future of American agriculture.

Yay no more GMO coming to a grocery store near you!
That’s real cool of Cynthia to do that. Very brave and outspoken woman. I like her!!
now let’s label politicians. although i already know what’s in them.
We want to know what is GMO and what isn’t but everything on the shelves has been altered in some way. Allmost all of the crops are GMO and full of the Roundup that’s killing off the birds and the bees and we can’t even trust the f-ing FDA to give us clean Organic Food. They take the trouble to charge farmers a gigantic price to be CERTIFIED and then they let the chemicals in anyway. They are so full of themselves and going so far away from the will of the people that the whole damn dept needs to be shut down. They replaced our good farm grown foods with Frankenshit that can’t even reproduce itself the next year. Shit seeds. Farmers of America should unite against GMOs and America should BAN them like European countries have done already. We’re in the killing fields of this administration. Walk silently and carry a big weapon. These animals are lower than the scum on the bottom of the scum. Shut down the FDA! Organic Growers should refuse to get the certifications because they are illegal under the circumstances.
