Seriously, people. Do you want Monsanto force feeding you genetically modified nonsense? They are already one of the most powerful companies in America today. This bill is a small shot at them, and those that are proponents of mass produced food.
Get in touch with your State rep. This needs to pass. Do not let mass industry tell you what you can and can't have on your dinner tables.
