Here is Washington, we recently got the chance to vote on an important initiative, I-522. This initiative was to give the citizens of Washington State the chance to have their foods labeled. Which means that any food that had GMO’s in it, would be labeled as so. November 5th has come and gone, but we haven’t stopped fighting. The votes are still being counted, and Washingtonians will still work towards labeling our foods.

I think that food labeling is important because I believe that what we eat significantly affects our health, and, indirectly, our health care costs. I also think that as consumers, it will allow and encourage us to make different (better) choices when shopping.
