Whole Foods To Have GMO Labels On All Products By 2018
Consumer war against Monsanto and company is well underway.
by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.
In 2012, undercover video captured Whole Foods employees ill advising customers that their products contain, "Nothing artificial ever". This dicovery was made notwithstanding that certain Whole Food products contain GMO's and are not labeled as such. In response, many customers abandoned Whole Foods and started food shopping with alternative companies such as Green PolkaDot Box.
Now Whole Foods has announced that they will require GMO labels on all products by 2018. Whole Foods maintains that their decision was based on ethical considerations and the good of their customers. However, many believe that the decision was purely a business decision made to re-establish their reputation and customer base. Regardless of the reason, it appears that, "the change it had to come".
Whole Foods maintains that they are the first national grocery chain to set such a deadline for its stores. In our age of rising awareness and increased educated consumers, it is believed that in time other stores will follow. In this single announcement, Whole Foods has delivered a decisive blow to Monsanto and the biotech industry, who appears to prefer ignorant consumers over educated ones.
