Re: Willie's Question re GE
January 3, 1997

My experience and research in labeling products of GE (rBST milk in Vermont) tells me that labeling would be more effective if products not "GE" were labeled. That way, consumers could seek them out and buy them. The mandatory rBST law was a huge failure. It is clearly not in the interest of GE producers to label. So let the nonGE producers do so, and then charge a premium if necessary.
