BOISE — A Boise political action group is pushing for legislation that would require mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients in Idaho.

GMO Free Idaho co-founder Leslie Ann Stoddard said the group might pursue a ballot initiative if the Idaho Legislature fails to pass legislation addressing the issue.

Members of GMO Free Idaho were present as Monsanto Co. officials briefed members of the House Agricultural Affairs Committee Feb. 18 on the benefits and future of genetically modified crops.

Stoddard said her group is gathering facts and support now and will pursue mandatory GMO labeling legislation next legislative session.

"We have a year to rally the troops, to educate and to get some press and get this legislation going," she said.

According to the group's website, GMO Free Idaho is dedicated to "eliminating GMOs from our food supply."

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.
