Why you should be very concerned? Because GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are created by scientists in laboratories. Scientists make up ”Plants or animals that have had their genetic makeup altered to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs.” The major concern with genetically engineered foods is based in food safety, their effect on natural ecosystems, gene flow into non GE crops and corporate control of our food supply.
While 93% of Americans believe GE foods should be labeled, for decades the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has blocked GE labeling. It’s time the FDA protected our right to know what’s in our food. FYI, Japan, Australia, the European Union and even China and Russia require labeling of GE foods.
We believe genetic engeneered food poses a dramatic danger to the security our food supply. And we are asking you to take action to demand labeling of GMO in foods.
The Center for Food Safety has filed a petition with FDA formally requesting the agency use its authority to require labeling of GE foods.
