GMO "A genetically modified organism, also known as a transgenic organism, is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food."
The addition of GMO's to our foods can and does bring untold and as yet not fully studied health issues to us and our families. But from what we know the type of food we consume is directly related to the health we enjoy. We are, especially vulnerable, in a over-worked and under-educated (nutritionally) society ..we must be notified clearly of what is in our food so that we can make informed choices.
Say no to voluntary labeling! This will only maintain the status quo and allow food manufacturers to continue producing on the basis of profit and not well-being and health. We need transparent and clear communication.
Though GMO can be introduced for many reasons...we must be able to clearly understand why and how so that we can make our own judgements. We need to slow down and do some unbiased scientific research.
Sign this petition or contact your senator to show your support for MANDATORY labeling.
We, the citizen's within your jurisdiction, respectfully request that you Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Sen. Barbara Boxer, on our behalf, support the bill that includes mandatory labelling of GMO ingredients within all our food products.
