It’s been a mixed shopping bag for food-labelling proponents recently. On Thursday Colorado lawmakers rejected a voluntary measure that would give food producers the option to label food products that do not include genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Rhode Island is also considering proposals to label foods with GMO ingredients. In the meantime, General Mills has said it will begin labeling Cheerios as GMO-free, but this move could put them at risk of legal action, as most all commercially grown oats are genetically modified. RT’s Perianne Boring talks to Elizabeth Kucinich, director of policy at the Center for Food Safety, about the anti-GMO movement and her documentary “GMO OMG.”

Today in the United States, by the simple acts of feeding ourselves, we are unwittingly participating in the largest experiment ever conducted on human beings. Each of us unknowingly consumes genetically engineered food on a daily basis. The risks and effects to our health and the environment are largely unknown. Yet more and more studies are being conducted around the world, which only provide even more reason for concern. We are the oblivious guinea pigs for wide-scale experimentation of modern biotechnology.
GMO OMG tells the story of a father’s discovery of GMOs in relationship to his three young children and the world around him.
We still have time to heal the planet, feed the world, and live sustainably. But we have to start now!
