GMO Labeling “Talking Points”:
If you are a consumer:
• I am careful about what I eat and feed my family/kids.
• I read labels when deciding what to eat/feed my family.
• I would prefer to know how much GMO content I eat/feed my children.
• I have a right to know how the food I buy for my family was produced.
If you are a small farmer or food processor:
• HB 660 would not regulate or affect New Hampshire agriculture
• Most crops grown in New Hampshire and sold as human food are not genetically modified.
• Labels allow consumers to make informed choices about what they buy.
• New Hampshire’s thriving local food economy would only benefit from Right to Know GMO Labeling.
