Label GMO's in PA!
Dear Sirs or Madams;
Over 75% of corn, soybeans and cotton in the United States is genetically modified. We as a people deserve to and have the right to know what is in the foods we feed to our families on a daily basis with adequate labeling so consumers can make informed, educated decisions. WE have a right to know and so do YOU.

Why is this important?
In pennsylvania and all over this country the American people are fooled into buying food items that contain GENETICALLY modified organisms. In other words, changing the genetic make-up of a food to make it more appealing to the consumer. Seriously, if you look up the "flavor saver" tomato, it was an experiment on the people with this alien tomato that got terrible reviews. That doesn't stop companies like Monsanto from genetically engineering a HUGE percent(over 75%) of corn, soy beans and cotton in the US. Don't we do deserve to know that this is in the food we feed to our families? Shouldn't it be our decision if we want our cereal to have GMO corn flakes or fresh organic corn flakes? Shouldn't there be tests on the safety of these products before releasing them onto the public in the 1990's? We have the right to be informed. Knowledge is power and when the right to be informed is taken away then we lose our voice and the FDA doesn't react to inaction. We as a people cannot make educated decisions on our health without the FDA taking the proper steps in labeling all foods that contain these harmful and alien ingrediants. Organic farrmers cannot stand alone in this fight. Organic farmers are being sued left and right by huge companies like Monsanto, and other farmers and being forced to buy Monsanto's seeds every year. This has to stop. Labeling is important. After PINK SLIME I think we can all agree on that.
