Lawmakers in Vermont are looking to regulate food labels so customers can know which products are made from genetically modified crops, but agricultural giants Monsanto say they will sue if the state follows through. Via Seth Dixon

Questions to ponder: Why is Vermont the first state to make some headway in producing this type of legislation? Will other states follow suit? What would the economic impacts be if all places required labels on products that contain genetically modified organisms? How would that change the agricultural industry?

If this labeling ever gets passed, it might make people think a little more about what they're eating. They might not want to eat genetically modified organisms. That would mean the agrigiant might lose some control over the industry. I don't have much hope of this happening. I try to buy my food from vendors that say they don't use gmo's. I try to grow some veggies in the summer. I know this isn't a guarantee that I'm not eating gmo's but I realize there are some over which we have no control.
