GM food and "The Future of Food" Documentary

I just finished watching a very interesting documentary on hulu called "The Future of Food". It was such an education about GM food and where the food industry is headed. I highly recommend watching it.

For the people who have seen it, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the documentary. Can anyone give me more information on legislation advances toward GM-labeled food in the US? I know certain products, like the ones at Trader Joe's, say that no GMOs were used in the making of the products. I am also aware that, disturbingly, the USDA/FDA/other government organization approved the sale of cloned meat a few years ago. I am hopeful that the US will take the same stance as the EU (though I realize it is an ideal at this point). I could maybe see it happening in 20 years.

Interestingly, I found a New York Times article about Monsanto, the seed and biotech company that is the focus of the documentary. Go here to read the article.
