Vermont banned slavery before the rest of America, back in 1777, and local greens talk like they have just achieved something comparable. "We’re first again," cheers Will Allen, a delighted organic farmer, as the Green Mountain state prepares to require labelling of foods containing genetically modified (GM) ingredients. As The Economist went to press, Peter Shumlin, Vermont’s governor, was set to sign a bill that would come into force in July 2016.
Vermont is a strange mix: it has strict environmental rules, loose gun laws and America’s only self-proclaimed socialist senator. It also takes its food very seriously, says Andrea Stander of Rural Vermont, a group that advocates a " local food system which is self-reliant and based on reverence for the earth". Per capita, Vermont has more organic farms than any other state. Montpelier is America’s only McDonald’s free state capital.
【R1】________
A fitting place, then, for a law designed to satisfy the unfounded fears of foodies. Repeated studies have found no threat to human health from GM ingredients, which are found in up to four-fifths of processed food in American shops; nor have any ill effects appeared during the 20 years in which Americans have been eating the stuff. Indeed, ever since the genetically engineered Flavr Savr tomato reached supermarket shelves in 1994, Americans have taken a more relaxed approach to the technology than much of the rest of the world. Some 64 countries, including the 28 of the European Union, require labelling. America does not, but that is changing.
【R2】________
In 2012 and 2013 GM-labelling initiatives in, respectively, California and Washington state failed after biotech and food companies spent millions on ads to persuade voters that they would be costly and pointless. Last year Maine and Connecticut passed labelling laws, though both have trigger provisions stopping them from taking effect until nearby states follow suit.
【R3】________
Generic polling finds 90% or more of Americans in favour of compulsory labelling. Over a million have signed petitions urging the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , which oversees national food-labelling rules, to mandate labelling of GM food. But in 1992 the FDA ruled that since there was no material difference between GM and non-GM food, labelling was not required.
【R4】________
Rural Vermont’s website has a cartoon depicting GM foods as radioactive mutant creatures with eyes on stalks. But most campaigners downplay the wildest claims about Frankenfoods (转基因食品) , preferring to emphasize consumer choice, which is hard for GM food producers to argue against.
【R5】________
If they lobby to suppress information, consumers may wrongly assume they have something to hide. Yet if the government requires labels, consumers may assume that this is an official health warning, even if it isn’t. Europeans avoided GM food after labels were introduced, and many European supermarkets declare themselves GM-free. The same could happen in America. " The activists did a great job of scaring people about their food sources," sighs Norm Mc Allister, a farmer (and Republican state senator) who grows GM corn in Vermont.
