Senator Boxer Remarks on GMO Labeling Bill

California Senator Barbara Boxer discusses a bill to require mandatory labeling of genetically modified food before the Senate, calling it misguided, calling the bill proof that leaders are out of touch and elitist, calling current labeling a shuck and a jive. Boxer asks why citizens of other nations can have this information and an American not, that 90 percent of Americans want to know whether their food is genetically engineered, arguing that the bill is confusing at best and no information at worst, concluding that GMO crops are heavily sprayed with pesticides, threatening the health of babies.
