S.C. Leaders: Please pass legislation to require the clear labeling of foods containing Genetically-Engineered ingredients.
Why is this important?
GE (or GMO) crops have never been studied for long-term health effects in humans or animals by the FDA. Recent studies in France and anecdotal evidence when used as animal feed show alarming negative health effects. Foods like GE corn can contain troubling levels of Round-Up or similar herbicides. These crops permanently contaminate non-GMO (organic or conventionally-raised) crops in adjacent fields by cross-pollinating and altering their genetic structure, rendering their seeds unusable.
