A Colorado House Committee voted against mandatory labeling for GMO foods Thursday.

Despite a growing list of reasons suggesting genetically modified organisms (GMO) are an unsafe food alternative to what nature already provides, required labeling for GMOs was rejected by Colorado lawmakers, after a hotly contested debate Thursday night.

Citing fears “the requirement would burden farmers and raise food prices,” a House committee, made up of Democrats, sided with big-Agra by an overwhelming margin of 7-2.

But the measure wasn't defeated until after an emotional, 5-plus hour slug-fest between farmers arguing for federal control and citizens concerned about the lack of oversight regarding what corporations are putting in the food.

The hidden story about vaccines, autism, drugs and food… Americas health has been BOUGHT. Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street… “If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.” Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma. Three big, BIG, okay… HUGE topics in one film. Why? Why not 3 films, why put all this in one movie? Great question, 2 answers. 1st and most importantly: We need to band together. We need a mainstream film, not another radical movie that only interests the “already converted”. Over 5 million people supported Prop 37 in CA. Reportedly, over 2 million worldwide marched against Monsanto in a global protest. T...vaccine expansion, and our love affair with pharmaceuticals- it’s the same villain. It’s a risky story to tell, but would be a tragedy to passively consent to with silence. There is something horribly wrong with health care today. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD’s aren’t being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled. Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time. Three huge stories, each worthy of multiple films, but each brought together by one staggering fact: it’s the same villain. These three story lines converge on Wall Street, in a tale of corruption, greed and shocking lack of conscience.
