Mendo, you are right. Anybody tossing the issue to the Feds is just diving for political cover, knowing full well that government at the federal level does not yet possess the fortitude to insist on labeling and scrutinize the more blatantly corporate aspects of GMO. After California and Washington came close, and now Vermont and Maine leading the way on labeling, and with 26 other state legislatures looking at the issue this year, it is clear that the issue is being fought at the state level across the nation. Tossing it to the Feds is a conservative ploy and a political cop out. If Joy were enthusiastically in favor of GMO labeling here in Hawaii, she would have said so. Like Leilani Bronson-Crelly who has already come out strongly in favor of GMO labeling and keeping new GMO crops off our island. http://www.vote4Leilani.com
