Sedgwick, Maine, the first town in the US to
legalize any kind of food transaction as free and legal in order to
keep the right to produce raw milk, organic produce, free-range eggs,
and more, is revolutionizing the way America keeps its food rights –
including saying no to GMOs. In other words, it is the first town to
declare food sovereignty while opposing both state and federal laws.
The town has passed an ordinance that protects citizens’ rights to “produce, sell, purchase, and consume
any food of their choosing.” The ordinance laughs in the face of FDA
regulations and their hodge-podge way of giving food a rubber stamp of
approval, especially GMO. Three additional towns in Maine are expected
to pass similar ordinances as well.
