Require GMO labeling in Alaska
GMOs have now been linked to tumors, liver and kidney disease by a 2012 independent study. GMOs are this generations tobacco, DDT, and leaded gasoline. We need to take the first step towards ensuring public health and safety by requiring labeling of food products that contain or were raised on GMOs.
Why is this important?
GMOs represent a clear and present danger to the health of the public and the security or our nation's food supply and economy. We must push forward on this issue and take the first step towards combating this hidden danger by identifying and raising public awareness through mandatory labeling. Public opinion and good science beat back the lobbies of other dangerous products such as tobacco and leaded gas. It's our time to do the same for GMOs.
