PA State Legislators: GMO Labeling Now!
Slow Beekeeping
Rescind Monsanto's free pass in our state. Enact GMO labeling laws in Pennsylvania now. Protect PA consumers from foods containing any GMO including meat and poultry fed on GMO corn.
Why is this important?
I'm a beekeeper so I am deeply concerned that neonicotinoid pesticides and systemic genetically modified organism acting as honey bee killers are not being properly regulated. If we aren't yet smart enough to protect our food system by protecting nature's best pollinator -- the honey bee -- then I hope we are smart enough to eliminate our local supermarkets as the end-user delivery system for pesticides in our food. Pesticide traces in the urine of children eating conventionally grown produce? Unacceptable. Pesticide traces found in fetal umbilical fluid? Unacceptable. We need GMO labeling laws now. This is the first step in recognizing that the problem of pesticides is a major health threat to human beings, too. I am reaching out to my representatives Senator Leanna Washington and Senator Shirley Kitchen to support a GMO labeling initiative in Pennsylvania. GMO labeling laws in Pennsylvania now.
