Demand GMO food labeling.

Genetically Modified Foods compose over 90% of current food basics but Big Food lobbyists are buying up our right to know what your family is eating. Research has shown that there are significant adverse effects, particularly in regard to birth defects and sterility issues. The chemical companies, ie Monsanto and Dow Chemical, et al, do not want the public to know what and how foods are grown, not just grain products, using these "special" hybrids, because they have basically put family farms out of business or are trying to. If these contaminated seeds blow onto their clean fields, they not only lose their crops but a literal army of attorneys for chemical companies will sue them for copyright infringement. Foods carrying the "natural" label mean absolutely nothing. The original rationale for the GMO plantings have already proven detrimental because the excuse that adding internal herbicides and pesticides to otherwise benign and nutritious foods will decrease the application of topical chemicals. What these GMO foods have undeniably done is create Superbugs and Superweeds that require up to twice the amount ofchemicals that farmers were using prior to the creation of these "wonder" seeds. Why do these companies refuse to label products so people can exercise their right to know the true ingredients of virtually all food products sold in grocery stores across the nation? Too many reasons to list, but the real question is, What are they hiding? We, the real people, are demanding that our most basic rights be honored and acknowledged. These chemical company lobbyists are spending millions of dollars on ad campaigns in the few states that are trying to pass legislation to force these food companies to do the honorable thing by simply changing their labeling to tell the truth about the ingredients that are in their products. We are not telling anyone that they cannot continue what they feel is business as usual, just simply and cheaply change labels to tell the truth. Outlawing GMOs altogether should be the FDA's job but that is another topic for a different battle. Right now, all we want is the TRUTH so we, the consumers, can make informed choices.

This petition is applicable to every human and domestic animal in the world.  The FDA and the USDA are reneging their duty to protect American lives by demanding verifiable and unbiased research into both short and long term effects of changing the nutritional structure of both grain based and meat production.  Being denied the right to choose what a family consumes should be a given, not a political battle.  What are they hiding?  Most people will not make significant changes in their grocery buying habits but they should have the right to do so if they wish.  Research has shown that there are significant negative effects particularly in regard to birth defects, fertility and chronic illnesses but exploring the options is your responsibility and choice.  These companies that have taken on the job of providing healthy food products are ultimately responsible and all we want at this time is to simply TELL THE TRUTH.
