Require Labelling of Food Containing GMO
We, the undersigned, demand that the USDA require labelling of all food containing Genetically Modified Organisms.
Why is this important?
Food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) sold in the U.S. is not required to be labelled as such. This is because the corporations responsible have told our politicians that the GMO food is identical to non-GMO varieties. Shouldn't we, the people, be allowed the opportunity to decide this for ourselves?
Currently the only way to avoid GMO food is to completely avoid corn products, soy products, cottonseed oil, canola oil, sugar beet products,farm-raised salmon, and possibly meat, eggs and dairy because the animals may have been fed GMO corn or alfalfa hay.
Why should we avoid GMO food products? Because the genetic modification of these plants usually consists of making the crop resistant to herbicides (mostly Roundup, but also 2, 4-d herbicides and others). The result is that these GMO crops uptake the herbicide chemicals and put them directly into our food supply. We have allowed these corporations to poison our planet and now the food supply directly, never mind what other effects there may be (pollination problems, extinction of speies etc.). Shall we continue to allow the few to profit at the expense of us all? I say no. How about you?
