Congress: Label GMOs with the Right-To-Know Act
We want transparency and accountability, not cover-ups and corporate back-scratching. Reject Rep. Pompeo's "DARK Act" and back the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act now!
Why is this important?
For years, activists and environmentalists have pushed to make GMO labeling the norm, letting Americans know about the genetically engineered crops and mutant products stocking their shelves.
That dream came true when Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Peter DeFazio introduced the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act to require GMO labeling this April. But Rep. Mark Pompeo has other plans — including teaming up with Monsanto to drive food regulation back to the Dark Ages.
Pompeo's bill has been nicknamed the DARK Act: Denying Americans the Right-to-Know. Backed by the "Big 6" chemical companies like Monsanto and Dow, Pompeo wants to block both states and the FDA from requiring GE labeling, allow "natural" foods to have genetically engineered ingredients, and label animal feeds non-GMO even if they're packed with them.
Ninety-three percent of Americans want GMO foods labeled, and evidence is growing that the health and environmental risks of pesticide-coated fraken-crops are much more serious than the Big 6 told us.
