the one with Marisa Tomei and GMOs

Here's a link to "Marisa Tomei Was Pissed When the GMO Labeling Proposition Failed. So She Got Some Friends Together..." my first feature-length story for the LA Weekly's A Considerable Town.

The story wasn't supposed to take a stand on GMO labeling, and I don't know enough to do that anyway. At least not in any official capacity. But here in my own space I'm free to say that the not knowing, the major and probably intentional holes in public information I encountered during my research on GMOs, is what convinced me that labeling is necessary. GMOs haven't been proven harmful, but they haven't been proven safe either. And the fact that there's so much resistance to labeling feels like something is purposely being hidden.

This isn't a cause blog so for now I'll stop with that. The article has received 1.8K Facebook likes in less than four days, so I'm probably on a least a couple watch lists anyway, which is funny considering I've been living out of a suitcase for three weeks. Or maybe it's more threatening, because I have so little to lose...
