  10. Nationwide, Mandatory bill is a win for families and consumers. Get the facts:

  11. Grateful for the support from the United Food and Commercial Workers for a mandatory, nationwide system.

  12. That Vermont label you keep hearing about? It’s only on ONE of these cans of soup. How does that make sense?

  13. Vermont’s law covers only 1% of Americans, exempts >25,000 products just because they contain meat.

  14. Right now, about 1% of Americans have the right to know about . Senate bill makes that 100%.

  15. Organics have always been non-GMO and the Senate bill strengthens organics.

  16. In Vermont law, anything made with even a tiny bit of meat is exempt. Senate bill labels both.

  17. In a country of 300,000,000, why should only 626,000 people have the right to know?

  18. I believe in science, says -that’s why I know change is real & why I know is safe.

  19. It’s ironic that people who want only an on-pack label quote FDA – who has said NO to labeling GMOs because they are NOT a health risk!

  20. Did You Know? According to more than 82% of all U.S. households own a smartphone and that # continues to grow!
