The proposed law, in other words, is a fraud.
It would not require any sort of GMO labeling
that’s readable by human beings, and it would
destroy the only existing labeling law that
requires real, honest labeling (the Vermont law).
As news of the betrayal spread across the
internet, the Whole Foods Big Lie machine
went into action, deliberately spreading
false and misleading information via social
media to deny the fact that Whole Foods’ own
CEO, Walter Robb, is on the record openly
supporting this Monsanto-engineered GMO
fake labeling law (see below).
Today, in response to a widely publicized
article on Natural News that quoted a breaking
story from Food Democracy Now, Whole Foods
posted the following lie on its Facebook page:
There is no truth to these claims. We have
always advocated for more transparency in
the marketplace, because we believe people
have a right to know what’s in their food...
Our commitment is to true transparency, and
our policy will not accept QR codes or 1-800
numbers as valid ways of identifying foods
that may contain GMOs.

ASPEN, Colo. - Three leading voices in the socalled “good food” sector today urged support
for the Senate’s bipartisan compromise on
GMO labeling, a bill that would preempt
Vermont’s labeling law and provide options
for companies to disclose genetically modified
ingredients.
Walter Robb, co-CEO of Whole Foods Market,
Jeff Dunn, president of Campbell Fresh, and
Sam Kass, a former White House adviser
who now works with food tech companies,
all praised Sens. Pat Roberts an d Debbie
Stabenow for coming to an agreement on a
national solution during a panel discussion at
the Aspen Ideas Festival.
“It’s not perfect, but it’s progress not perfection,”
said Dunn, who noted that Campbell’s was the
first major food company to voluntarily label
its products. “It’s a step in the right direction.”
[Walter] Robb said it was an “incredible
thing” that the senators came together and
compromised during a dysfunctional time. He
said he hopes that lawmakers can soon move
on to other things.
...Kass, who has already lauded the Senate
for the compromise, said he’d prefer onpack labels, but argued that advocates got
75 percent of what they wanted and the deal
should be supported.
