Connections: Genetically Modified Food

The New York state legislature did not pass GMO labeling this year, as Vermont did, but a bill was considered. Proponents say everyone should know what's in their food, and where it came from. Opponents say GMOs are being unfairly demonized.

We'll talk to Jane Andrews of Wegmans, and we'll hear from the local farming community, including local farmer Elizabeth Henderson. We'll also hear what big companies -- who have paid big money to stop the bill in NY state -- are saying.
