As consumers, we want legislation passed to require all GMO-BASED foods to be labeled as such.
Why is this important?
Recently in California a proposition was narrowly defeated (via a $46 million dollar ad-blitz by the conglomerate "farmers") that would have required the labeling of all foods containing gmo (genetically modified organism). Many of us are concerned that these foods have been deemed "safe" by the FDA with little or no testing. Many more of us are tired of our concerns, as consumers, being ignored. We are tired of paying for these products in health detriments and inflated foods costs, to name only two. We are tired of being lied to. To demonstrate our seriousness and collective concern, we are boycotting all gmo-based products for the weekend of Earth Day, April 20-22. We ask that our local, state and national governing bodies support us in making proper labeling of foods containing GMOs mandatory.
