He might , but ’s state Rep. Richard Roy, D-Milford, plans to take a run at regulating genetically modified food in Connecticut.

An Associated Press article published in the Norwich Bulletin said Roy introduced a bill requiring genetically engineered food sold in Connecticut to be labeled as such.

Roy is co-chairman of the state Legislature’s Environment Committee.

The article said the bill would not require the label to specify which ingredients in the food were genetically engineered.

I agree with Rep Roy, His idea should go national. I feel the public should be aware of what is in our food and how it is produced. We all should be educated consumers.

I agree with Rep Roy and that his idea should go national. If we are informed as to what is in a food , we can choose whether or not we want to purchase it.

Thank you Richard Roy, we need to know what we are eating. Since genetically engineered food items are new and different molecules, are they part of the growing allergy problem in the US?

To clarify, they have 4 cats, and they're only able to take two of them, plus their 14 year old dog.Read More It was a struggle for them to even find a way to get the dog in the rental agreement, otherwise they would have tried to take them. :(

Sad that they had to leave these beauties behind. I'm sure they are heartbroken over it.

Please contact Forgotten Felines in Clinton. They are a no kill cat shelter. Offering "free toRead More a good home" pets is dangerous. There are bad people out there who take them and sell them to research labs or use them as bait in dog fighting. Please rethink this ad.
