U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a taxpayer funded “watchdog” agency charged with protecting public health.

The scene: An attractive couple walking hand in hand along the water’s edge of an exotic beach at sunset. The woman (close up): “My (name of dread disease) was not improving.

First, the infuriating news: Just as Vermont’s mandatory GMO labeling law was taking effect this July, the U.S. Congress passed, and the president signed, the gutless bill, S. 764, which, in effect, lets anti-labelers off the hook.
