VERMONT STONERS HARDEST HIT: “Vermont residents might have to go hungry — or drive into New Hampshire, upstate New York, or even Boston, for food — because of their state’s new GMO (genetically modified organisms) labeling law that takes effect July 1, 2016. At the very least, they might have to say goodbye to an American icon of corporate cuisine creationism that contains not one drop of nutrition, the Twinkie.”

Remember during the Clinton era when David Brooks was describing Vermont as being “relatively apolitical?” Good times, good times.
