Connecticut Takes First Step Toward GMO Labeling Law  Just Label
It/Screen capture  The federal government hasn't been very
responsive to the estimated 92 percent of Americans who want
genetically engineered foods to be labeled, so states have
started to take the issue on themselves: about 20 states are
considering a labeling requirement. But it looks like
Connecticut is close to actually passing one.  Yesterday, the
state legislature's Environment Committee voted 23-6 to approve
a measure requiring food producers to label genetically modified
foods.  AP reports:  "It's something that's coming, and I think
we can be in the forefront in helping shape how it's done," said
Democratic Rep. Richard Roy, the committee's House chairman.
"Think of us as the mouse that roared."  The federal government
and states do not require labeling for all genetically modified
foods. Connecticut is among nearly 20 states considering a
requirement, with backers saying genetically engineered foods
pose allergy and other health risks
