Washington state sues lobbyists over campaign against GMO labeling

(Reuters) - A lobbying group for major U.S. food manufacturers has violated campaign finance laws in its attempt to block a measure that would require labeling of genetically modified foods in Washington state, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the state's attorney general.

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleges that the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) illegally collected and spent more than $7 million while shielding the identity of its contributors.

Where do I go to sign on as one of 350,000,000 co-Plaintiffs? The Monsantos and ADMs of the world owe me, my family and 350,000,000 co-Plaintiffs some serious money for the damage done to our health!! What damage is that, you ask? Ask them, I say, they invented that murder weapon designated "genetically modified organisms" and fed them to me without my knowledge (of the danger) or consent in cooperation/conspiracy with the FDA and the USDA.

You only have the right to choose what you are consuming. On what basis do you claim an additional right?

I'm skeptical about 522. I already don't have any problem avoiding GMO, except that I would like to know whether meat is from animals that ate GMO grains, and this law doesn't tell me that. On the other hand, even with meat, I just ask the folks at Whole Foods when in doubt.

Consider that the ulterior motive of regulation always seems to be to stamp out the little competitor. For example, this law would make it very easy for Monsanto to claim that some small farmer is actually GMO but is not labeled as such, and then the small farmer would go bankrupt trying to defend himself.

Don't let them play you.
