Everyone has the right to know what they’re eating, informed choice. This campaign isn’t against GMOs, it’s to have it put on the label giving you the choice whether or not you want to eat it. Here is the link to the petition.
An explanation of GE foods from the Just Label it! website:
“Genetically engineered (GE) foods, also referred to as genetically modified, or GMOs, are those that are altered at the molecular level in ways that could not happen naturally. This means plants and animals that have had their genetic makeup altered to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs. These techniques use DNA molecules from different sources, sometimes different species, and combine them into one molecule to create a new set of genes (e.g. mixing of founder genes into tomatoes so the tomatoes would be resistant to cold temperatures.)
“While there is some GE produce in supermarket bins, it’s estimated that 60%-70% of processed foods available in U.S. grocery stores likely contain some GE material. The majority of the livestock (with the exception of USDA certified organic livestock or Non-GMO Project Verified) that Americans consume have been raised on genetically engineered crops are corn and soy which are used in many processed foods and most animal feeds.”
Please pass this along and help get it on our labels.
